About
I am an empathetic HR Generalist with experience supporting over 1,500 employees and managing the full employee lifecycle, payroll, and compliance for multi-state workforces. Most recently at Paragon Legal Group, I have worked since 2021 in roles advancing from Human Resources Generalist to Senior Human Resources Generalist, overseeing onboarding, HRIS data integrity, and benefits administration.
My work spans multi-state payroll processing using UKG and Payentry, AI-assisted workflow automation with Chat GPT and Claude, and HR compliance across ACA, EEOC, and 401k audits. I have built custom AI tools to reduce payroll discrepancies and improved employee experience by coordinating recognition programs and streamlining onboarding platforms for large legal and corporate teams.
What I'm looking for
An HR Generalist, People Operations, or HRBP role where I can own compliance, payroll, and the full employee lifecycle.
I bring nearly six years of progressive HR experience, most recently managing HR for 200+ employees across 30+ states with a zero-error compliance record.
I'm drawn to organizations that use technology to improve HR operations. I built two AI tools in my last role that cut processing time by over 50%, with no engineering background.
