What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own HRIS-driven people operations and compliance (I-9/E-Verify), improve onboarding and SOPs, and use AI/workflow automation to make teams run faster—ideally aligned with EST/CST schedules.

I’m a bilingual (EN/ES) HR Operations Generalist with 4+ years of people operations experience, combining HRIS administration with compliance-first onboarding and employee relations. I specialize in keeping records audit-ready and running HR workflows end to end—from new hire entry and job changes to terminations.

In my most recent role as a Talent Acquisition Partner at a U.S. immigration law firm, I managed employee records in Rippling across the full lifecycle, verified hours before payroll runs, and completed I-9 and E-Verify for new hires. I supported full-cycle recruiting and onboarding for 17+ concurrent roles, completing 114+ hires with a 23-day average time-to-hire, while building scalable sourcing and onboarding SOPs.

Earlier, as a Talent Acquisition Lead & HR Operations at Speak Spanish Academy, I built the organization’s HR and people operations function from scratch—designing remote bilingual onboarding programs and performance frameworks. I also use AI and automation (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude AI, Microsoft Copilot) to improve workflow efficiency, and I’m fully aligned with EST/CST working hours.
