What I'm looking for

I seek an operational role combining HR and transaction support in an international, compliance-focused team where I can improve processes, ensure data integrity, and mentor colleagues.

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.
