What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an HR role where I can combine HRIS administration, workforce reporting, and compliance to improve processes and data integrity—partnering with managers and cross-functional teams to deliver clear, accurate, employee-focused support.

I’m an analytical HR and business systems professional with extensive experience in HRIS administration, workforce reporting, compliance tracking, and project-based process improvement. I translate business needs into technical requirements, optimize systems, and deliver actionable recommendations that improve organizational efficiency.

In my current role as an Employee Relations Representative, I advise managers and employees on performance management, misconduct, investigations, discrimination complaints, and policy interpretation—ensuring compliance with federal and state employment laws. I maintain and audit employee records for a multi-state workforce, supporting accuracy and integrity for items like I-9, training/licensure requirements, health/safety compliance, and pay laws.

Previously, as an HR Generalist, I supported full-cycle HR operations across HRIS, ATS, and LMS management, including onboarding/offboarding and employee data maintenance. I strengthened HRIS data accuracy through system audits and reconciliation, optimized intranet structure and content for usability and accessibility, and resolved reporting and compliance discrepancies through data analysis and stakeholder collaboration.

Earlier, I served as an HR Associate, managing HRIS updates and compliance processes like I-9/E-Verify while supporting leave administration, onboarding, and recruitment coordination. Across roles, I’ve streamlined compliance documentation and reporting workflows, led the transition from paper-based personnel files to electronic recordkeeping, and led proactive audits that improved tracking and data accuracy.
