What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my payroll, compliance, and HR operations experience in a complex organization where I can independently manage accurate, audit-ready processes and partner closely with HR, finance, vendors, and employees.

I've supported payroll, compliance, and HR operations for 500+ employees at KBR and Westlake Corporation, maintaining accurate records across Workday, SAP, ADP, and SharePoint.

At Westlake, I managed U.S. and Canadian payroll compliance activities, wage garnishments, W-2 distribution, unemployment claims, background checks, I-9 and E-Verify requirements, and HR vendor invoices. I also facilitated virtual HRBP calls and maintained policy documentation and secure records.

At KBR, I conducted monthly payroll audits with 100% accuracy, administered full-cycle multi-state HR operations, and supported onboarding, separations, leave records, workers' compensation, and employment verifications. I bring hands-on payroll accounting, AP/AR reconciliation, vendor management, and remote cross-functional coordination experience.
