What I'm looking for

I am seeking a people-operations or HR role where I can improve payroll and compliance systems, train teams, and enhance employee experience in a collaborative, mission-driven organization.

I am a resourceful people operations and HR specialist with proven experience managing payroll systems, benefits programs, onboarding, and compliance across childcare and federal environments. I am recognized as a dependable problem-solver who learns systems quickly, stabilizes teams during transitions, and delivers operational improvements that enhance employee experience.

In federal and nonprofit settings I supported a federal payroll rollout, processed travel and vendor payments, and reduced overdue travel advances by 300% through improved reporting. I have directed childcare center operations during leadership crises, digitized records to streamline compliance, trained staff, and led family engagement initiatives to strengthen retention.
