What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in HR practices.

I am a dedicated Human Resources professional with extensive experience in Human Capital Management (HCM) and data analytics. My journey in HR began with a strong foundation in business management, which I have built upon through various roles in diverse organizations. Currently, I serve as a Human Resources Generalist at Lessen Inc, where I focus on configuring advanced business processes and enhancing our HRIS platform to meet evolving business needs.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed HRIS implementations, conducted training for internal teams, and ensured data integrity across multiple systems. My proactive approach to anticipating workforce trends has allowed me to develop strategic solutions that improve employee engagement and retention. I take pride in my ability to collaborate with stakeholders to resolve complex scenarios and deliver timely payroll for over 1000 employees nationwide.
