What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an HR role where I can own benefits, onboarding, HRIS accuracy, and payroll support—working with people in a fast-paced, people-first environment that values confidentiality, compliance, and data integrity.

I bring hands-on HR experience across benefits administration, HR operations, onboarding, payroll support, employee inquiries, and employee relations. In my current HR Coordinator role (Benefits Administration), I support enrollments, qualifying life event changes, documentation review, and help resolve time-sensitive questions in fast-paced, remote environments.

Previously, I coordinated leave of absence and benefits-related documentation, supported open enrollment and QLE processes, and maintained employee records to ensure compliance with company policies. Earlier, I served as a Human Resources Generalist & Payroll Administrator, onboarding new hires, running and maintaining multiple Excel reports, and processing payroll for 500+ employees in ADP.

I’m known for handling confidential information, auditing HR and benefits data to identify discrepancies, and ensuring systems and records stay accurate. From I-9s and E-Verify to background checks, unemployment claim support, and terminations in ADP, I work with care, urgency, and a strong focus on data integrity and a positive employee experience.
