What I'm looking for

I am seeking an HR Generalist/Operations role in a collaborative organization where I can apply HRIS expertise, process improvements, and compliance-focused, employee-centered HR support.

I am an HR professional with 9+ years of experience in HR operations, employee relations, benefits and leave administration, payroll support, and HRIS data management across multi-location environments. I currently serve as Officer – Human Resources & Operations at VFS, supporting end-to-end onboarding/offboarding, HR documentation, audits, and process improvements.

My strengths include maintaining meticulous HR records, ensuring regulatory compliance (FMLA, HIPAA, COBRA, ADA, ADEA, ERISA, IRCA, EEO, GINA, USERRA, FLSA), and improving HR processes and SOPs to meet service level agreements and audit readiness. I have hands-on experience with HRIS maintenance, payroll liaison activities, leave and benefits administration, and employee relations case handling.

I am pursuing PHR certification and seek HR Generalist / HR Operations roles where I can leverage advanced HRIS knowledge, operational experience, and strong employment law compliance skills to strengthen lifecycle processes, maintain accurate records, and deliver employee-focused HR support.
