What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values collaboration, and leverages technology to enhance HR processes.

I am a certified Human Resources professional with a Master's in IT Business Management and extensive experience in HRIS roles. My expertise lies in implementing and optimizing Workday systems, managing payroll processes, and ensuring compliance with audit standards. I thrive in fast-paced environments, where my detail-oriented approach and project management skills enable me to deliver effective solutions tailored to business needs.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led training initiatives, developed internal documentation, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to enhance HR processes. My role as an HRIS Analyst at Ameriprise Financial allowed me to manage end-to-end testing and serve as the primary point of contact for troubleshooting complex Workday issues. I am passionate about leveraging technology to streamline HR operations and improve employee experiences.
