What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and innovation, where I can leverage my HR expertise to drive impactful change.

I am a dedicated program manager with a strong focus on people and a proven track record of leading cross-functional HR initiatives. My experience spans from optimizing HRIS rollouts to developing performance and compensation strategies that drive employee satisfaction and engagement. I thrive on simplifying complex problems and building scalable, insight-driven solutions that align with organizational goals.

In my recent role as an HR & Compensation Analyst at Reynolds Consumer Products, I successfully led compensation programs for over 6,000 employees, achieving 100% pay equity for three consecutive years. My ability to analyze complex data and translate insights into executive-level presentations has influenced leadership decisions and company-wide policies. I am passionate about collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment and effective rollout of new resources.

As a Product Designer & Researcher, I have honed my skills in leading end-to-end design and research projects, acting as a liaison between various stakeholders. My commitment to developing human-centered tools and products has allowed me to create impactful solutions for startups and small businesses. I am excited to bring my expertise in program management and HR initiatives to a new opportunity.
