What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation in HR practices and promotes employee engagement.

As a Senior People Operations Generalist at ThinkOnward, I have successfully revamped our quarterly All-Hands meetings and transformed post-event survey results into an interactive sentiment dashboard. This initiative has equipped our leaders with valuable engagement-survey analysis and actionable plans to enhance collaboration and team building. My commitment to fostering a people-first culture is evident through my leadership of the Culture and Engagement Committee, where I established a scalable framework that increased overall employee engagement by 36% in a high-growth environment.

Previously, I served as a Human Resources Operations Specialist at Unity Technologies, where I acted as the global subject matter expert on HR systems and integrations. I directed global layoff and restructuring projects, ensuring compliance and timely off-boarding across multiple countries. My experience spans overseeing People Operations across diverse regions, driving HR initiatives, and enhancing employee experiences through continuous process improvements. I am passionate about leveraging AI-driven technology to streamline workflows and meet the evolving needs of fast-paced startup environments.
