What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role in HR/payroll where I can optimize payroll processes, ensure compliance, collaborate cross-functionally, and support employee satisfaction and growth.

I am an HR and payroll specialist who manages end-to-end payroll and HR processes, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and confidentiality. I prioritize solutions that support operational goals and employee satisfaction.

In my current role I oversee full-cycle payroll for multiple employee groups, coordinate recruiting and onboarding, and resolve payroll discrepancies to maintain high employee satisfaction. I build strong relationships with employees, hiring managers, and vendors to deliver reliable payroll and benefits services.

Earlier I worked in banking as an internal control officer where I conducted audits, developed internal controls, and reduced operational risk by improving procedures and staff training. That experience strengthened my compliance, auditing, and process-improvement skills.

I hold training and certifications in bookkeeping, payroll analysis, business analytics, and information systems, and I bring a pragmatic, detail-oriented approach to HR operations. I am seeking opportunities where I can optimize payroll processes, support compliance, and contribute to cross-functional HR initiatives.
