Experienced HR Operations & Payroll Manager with a background in retail management and sales. I specialize in multi-state payroll processing, recruiting, onboarding, HRIS implementation, policy compliance, and benefits administration - ensuring that operations run smoothly and people feel supported. With a deep appreciation for structure and people-centered systems, I’ve led process improvements that reduced payroll errors, streamlined new hire onboarding experiences, and helped teams stay compliant and informed. My early career in leadership and sales shaped my communication style of being direct, thoughtful, and solution-focused.
