What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, offers growth opportunities, and allows me to utilize my payroll and administrative skills.

I am a dedicated Payroll Administrator and Compliance Lead with over 10 years of experience in managing and optimizing payroll operations. My expertise lies in accurately inputting, verifying, and maintaining large volumes of data across multiple systems, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. I thrive in fast-paced environments, consistently meeting tight deadlines while maintaining meticulous attention to detail.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in administrative support, customer service, and data management. My roles have ranged from teaching at Twelepele Correctional Centre to working as an Administrator and Proofreader at Inlexso. I have a proven track record of implementing effective strategies to enhance productivity and improve student outcomes, as well as managing full-cycle payroll processes and maintenance planning at Barloworld Equipment.

My commitment to continuous improvement and adaptability has allowed me to excel in various roles, and I am passionate about fostering collaborative environments that promote accountability and support. I am eager to bring my skills and experience to a new opportunity where I can contribute to organizational success.
