I administer benefits, leave, and accommodations that support employees and HR compliance.
What I'm looking for
At Alamogordo Public Schools, I administer employee benefits, FMLA, leave of absence, ADA accommodations, return-to-work processes, and workers’ compensation claims. I coordinate with employees, vendors, insurance providers, payroll, and internal stakeholders to keep documentation accurate and processes compliant.
I've also supported recruitment, onboarding, benefits enrollment, employee relations, and HR customer service at New Mexico State University, Pete King Corporation, and GT Ventures. I'm pursuing a Master of Science in Human Resource Management and bring bilingual English and Spanish communication to employee education and support.
