AI’m a payroll and HR operations professional with nearly 10 years of experience supporting a large, field-based workforce. At Villa Park Landscape, I process weekly payroll for approximately 700 employees, including union, certified, and prevailing-wage payroll. My work includes reviewing timecards, resolving pay discrepancies, managing deductions and garnishments, supporting new hires and terminations, preparing reports, and assisting with audits and year-end payroll.

I work closely with supervisors and other teams to keep payroll accurate and on schedule. I’m also helping evaluate a transition to automated timekeeping, which has strengthened my interest in improving systems and processes.

I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and open to remote opportunities in payroll, HR operations, compliance, and timekeeping or payroll-system support. I bring hands-on experience, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn a new industry or platform.
