Experienced HR professional specializing in payroll and tax management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated HR professional with over a decade of experience in payroll and tax management. My journey began with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from Temple University, where I developed a strong foundation in financial principles. Since then, I have honed my skills in various roles, including my current position as a Tax and Garnish Lead at Surgical Care Affiliates, where I manage tax assessments and audits, ensuring compliance and accuracy in payroll processes.
Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to resolve complex payroll issues and provide training to colleagues. My experience at ADP, where I served as a Senior Technical Support Specialist, allowed me to support associates with intricate payroll and tax problems, enhancing my problem-solving skills. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to a dynamic HR team that values accuracy and efficiency.
