What I'm looking for

I seek a people-focused role where I can apply HRIS and data skills to streamline processes, improve employee experience, and support growth in a collaborative organization.

I am a People & Culture professional with 8+ years of experience improving employee experience, operations, and engagement across fast-paced, cross-functional environments.

My background combines a Master’s in Management Information Systems with HR credentials (aPHR) and hands-on work in HRIS, payroll systems, onboarding, and data analytics to support organizations from healthcare to media.

I have led implementations and process documentation—building centralized SharePoint hubs, SOPs, automated onboarding in Monday.com, and regular headcount and leadership reporting—while supporting RIFs and sensitive employee communications with confidentiality and empathy.

I drive measurable results: increased employee engagement by 15%, improved onboarding compliance to 100%, supported revenue and contract growth through customer engagement strategies, and scaled training/LMS initiatives for large user populations.
