What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own HR/payroll operations, use ADP/Workday tools to improve accuracy and reporting, and contribute to smoother HRIS implementations with a collaborative shared-services team.

I’m a Payroll Associate with experience supporting HR/payroll operations across shared services environments, including being a primary point of contact for employee HR/Payroll inquiries. I’ve processed semi-monthly payroll for over 600 employees across all 50 states using ADP Enterprise, handling compensation calculations, tax deductions, and payroll record accuracy.

I bring HR systems expertise through my Workday Pro Certification and hands-on configuration support during hypercare and HRIS implementation. I also supported Rutgers and Kean University through employee-facing and academic initiatives—leading events with LibCal, analyzing faculty reports, and turning findings into actionable insights.
