What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue streamlining HR operations—managing employee data in Workday, supporting HR briefings, and ensuring compliant records workflows—while partnering cross-functionally to improve onboarding and document management.

I’m an HR Administrative Specialist with 15+ years of experience supporting administrative operations, employee data management, and records systems. I’m known for streamlining processes, improving productivity, and implementing technology solutions that make HR workflows more reliable.

At KBR, I maintained employee data in Workday, including hires, transfers, rehires, and updates, while verifying employment history through VOE. I also managed document searches and file upkeep using Documentum, and supported overseas hiring and onboarding during new project transitions.

Earlier in my career, I built and maintained a comprehensive records management system at Brown and Root, handling high-volume data entry, producing digital copies by retrieving and scanning documents, and providing teams timely access to archived information. I bring strong collaboration, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to supporting HR functions and cross-functional teams.
