What I'm looking for

Seeking an HR or operations role that offers growth opportunities, focusing on process improvement and data-driven decision-making to enhance organizational efficiency.

As an analytical HR and operations professional with over four years of experience, I specialize in benefits administration, timekeeping, and team management. My expertise lies in streamlining processes, ensuring compliance, and delivering measurable results through the strategic use of HRIS, payroll systems, and data analytics.

Throughout my career, I have consistently improved operational efficiency. At New York City Transit, I oversaw timekeeping operations, reducing payroll errors by 15%. At AFM-EPF, I ensured IRS compliance and supported audits through meticulous record maintenance. My role at Amazon as an Area Manager involved leading a team of over 60 associates, implementing training programs, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to meet business objectives.

I hold certifications in Human Resource Associate, Data Analytics, and Corporate Finance from reputable institutions. My skills encompass HRIS systems like Kronos and Oracle, Microsoft Excel, and data analysis, making me a versatile professional dedicated to driving organizational efficiency and growth.
