What I'm looking for

I’m looking to implement and strengthen payroll/HR systems while ensuring regulatory compliance—turning complex rules into clear workflows. I want a client-facing role where I can solve tough issues, improve reporting accuracy, and help teams stay ahead of legislative changes.

I’m a senior implementation consultant bringing payroll implementation, human resources, regulatory compliance, and field service operations together to deliver practical system outcomes for clients. I’ve supported SECURE Act 2.0 mandates by analyzing existing payroll and benefits structures, translating regulatory changes into system configurations, and closing gaps to align processes with updated federal requirements.

In prior roles, I implemented payroll systems and resolved complex payroll issues by interpreting client-specific structures and delivering efficient, accurate ADP platform solutions. I also managed full-cycle payroll and benefits coordination—including reporting, tax compliance, and workers’ compensation—while advising leadership on HR matters; earlier, I led multi-location service operations and maintained and repaired electronics and networking equipment in fast-paced, travel-based settings.
