What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role blending payroll analytics, SQL/Excel reporting, and HRIS optimization to improve accuracy, compliance, and efficiency in a collaborative, data-driven team.

I’m a results-oriented Payroll Analyst and Data Analyst with 8+ years of progressive experience in payroll processing, HR operations, and data analysis. I specialize in remote, multi-state payroll compliance, financial reconciliation, and improving data systems—turning messy payroll inputs into reliable outputs for leadership and stakeholders.

In my roles, I’ve reduced payroll errors by 35%, improved processing efficiency by 60%, and recovered $47K through data analytics. I use advanced Excel (Power Query, Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP) and SQL to run data audits, build KPI dashboards, and optimize database query performance—such as cutting report generation time by 63%—while maintaining high accuracy (100% on-time processing record across 104 pay periods; 99.8% data accuracy through rigorous validation).
