I lead employee relations, recruiting, payroll, benefits, compliance, and HR operations.

I've led employee relations, payroll, benefits, leave administration, compliance, and HR operations at Pacoima Beautiful, supporting workplace concerns, performance management, compensation practices, and policy consistency.

At JAFRA Cosmetics International, I supported recruiting, onboarding, payroll reporting, HRIS records, employee engagement, and performance, compensation, and recognition programs. I also processed invoices and purchase orders in SAP.

At Amware Fulfillment, I progressed from Human Resources Administrator to Recruiting Coordinator and Recruiter, leading full-cycle recruiting for exempt and non-exempt roles and building recruiting SOPs to improve consistency and efficiency.

Earlier HR administration roles included payroll reconciliation, leave and workers' compensation administration, disciplinary proceedings, HRIS maintenance, onboarding, and weekly payroll for 200+ employees using Paychex. I'm bilingual in Spanish and experienced supporting employees, leaders, and day-to-day HR functions.
