What I'm looking for
I am an HR generalist and financial transactions specialist who delivers accurate, compliant results in fast-paced international environments.
I have led end-to-end employment lifecycle activities, maintained HRIS data integrity (HiBob, NetSuite, Oracle), supported SOX-style audits, and controlled payroll processing while administering employee benefits.
On the transactions side, I supported foreign invoice payments, assisted treasury during complex system transitions, launched corporate payment system improvements, and streamlined expense reimbursements for executive travel.
I mentor new team members, create process documentation and instructions, and proactively drive cross-functional collaboration to reduce disruption and improve operational transparency.
