What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support HR and people operations in a multi-site organization where I can strengthen compliant employee lifecycle processes, HRIS data integrity, employee support, and audit-ready documentation.

At Applied Technical Services, I support HR and Total Rewards programs, maintain audit-ready HRIS records, and guide employees and managers through benefits, leave, policy, and lifecycle questions.

I've managed onboarding and offboarding, E-Verify and I-9 documentation, employee relations, performance documentation, payroll administration, and compliance reporting across technical services, staffing, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and administrative environments.

Across Contractors Inc, GO2 Staffing Solutions, Premier Employment Solutions, and Avail Professional, I've led multi-site workforce operations, supported high-volume placements, improved processes, and used workforce and operational reporting to inform decisions.
