Summary

  • Highly structured LR/HR Administration, Office Lead & Payroll Support with over one dozen years of LR/HR experience and seven combined years' experience as HRIS/Payroll Support.
  • Strong trust-based relationships with all union representatives for over a dozen years. Through both highs & lows, I always treated the union representatives with dignity & respect and honesty was of the most importance (no honesty equals no trust and without trust there are zero relations with the union).

  • Four mantras that I try my best to follow: "Keep it Simple (Silly)", "Details First/Details Last", "Safety Has its Own Rewards!" and "If a problem exists in the workplace, then a solution must also exist in the workplace."
  • Strong situational awareness, and many years of working inside of high-performance teams to improve processes and reevaluate practices that do not add value to the organization.

Diligent [Desired Position] with comprehensive expertise in payroll processing and compliance.
