With over 11 years of experience in U.S. payroll processing, I have developed a deep understanding of compliance, accuracy, and efficiency in managing payroll operations for businesses of all sizes. My expertise extends to multi-state payroll, payroll reconciliations, employee onboarding, and resolving complex payroll issues—ensuring companies remain compliant while optimizing their processes. Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse industries, handling end-to-end payroll operations, from scheduling and processing to benefits setup, reporting, and corrections. I am well-versed in payroll platforms such as Paycor, Gusto, ADP, QuickBooks Payroll, and other industry-standard systems, allowing me to adapt seamlessly to different client needs. Beyond payroll, I manage internal accounts receivable functions for my firm, supporting billing, collections, and cash flow processes. My attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and commitment to accuracy have helped both clients and my team avoid costly errors while streamlining operations. I take pride in my ability to work independently while maintaining open communication, ensuring transparency and reliability in every project I take on. If you’re looking for a payroll specialist who can deliver precise, efficient, and people-focused solutions, I’d love the opportunity to contribute my expertise.

I am an experienced Human Resources professional with over eight years of expertise in HR, recruitment, payroll administration, employee relations, and operations support for U.S.-based companies. Throughout my career, I have been responsible for managing the full employee lifecycle, from talent acquisition and onboarding to performance management, payroll coordination, employee engagement, and offboarding. In addition to my broad HR background, I have nearly six years of specialized experience as a CDL truck driver recruiter, recruiting qualified Class A and Class B drivers across the United States. I have managed the full recruitment process for CDL drivers, including sourcing, pre-screening, qualification verification, interview coordination, compliance checks, offer management, and onboarding. I am familiar with DOT requirements, driver qualification standards, and the fast-paced nature of transportation and logistics recruiting, allowing me to successfully place high-quality drivers while meeting hiring goals and operational deadlines. As a Senior HR Specialist, I have successfully partnered with managers and leadership teams to recruit top talent, develop HR policies and procedures, streamline onboarding processes, and ensure compliance with company standards. I have experience recruiting for a wide range of positions, including CDL truck drivers, administrative professionals, customer service representatives, logistics personnel, recruiters, virtual assistants, accounting staff, and operations teams. I am also experienced in developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), maintaining employee records, coordinating training programs, and supporting organizational growth through effective HR strategies. I have worked with remote teams across multiple countries and am proficient in HRIS and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), payroll software, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Microsoft Teams, HubSpot CRM, and QuickBooks Online. My strengths include building positive relationships with employees, solving workplace challenges, improving HR processes, and managing multiple priorities in fast-paced environments. What I enjoy most about working in Human Resources is helping organizations build strong, engaged teams while creating a positive employee experience. I believe HR is more than hiring and administration—it's about supporting people, developing talent, and creating systems that help both employees and the business succeed. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my experience, leadership, and passion for Human Resources to your organization. I am confident that my background, strong work ethic, and commitment to continuous improvement would allow me to make a meaningful contribution to your team.
