Work History
Human Resources/Payroll Director
12 Years 6 Months- I collaborate with the hospital CEO, CFO, and CNO on high-impact initiatives, providing HR expertise to support organizational strategy and operational goals. I ensure full compliance with Corporate HR standards, Joint Commission requirements, and internal controls by maintaining accurate and audit-ready employee files. I prepare and submit monthly, quarterly, and annual HR reports with a focus on data accuracy and regulatory alignment. In addition, I oversee payroll audits, maintain payroll integrity, and serve as the primary liaison between the facility and the USPI/Tenet Home Office Payroll Department. I lead benefits administration for new hires, annual open enrollment, and benefit terminations, while also advising employees on the Fidelity 401(k) Plan, including onboarding, rollovers, and plan termination processes. My responsibilities also include updating job descriptions, performance evaluations, and HR policies to ensure consistency and organizational alignment. I manage job postings within the USPI Rival system and support talent acquisition by coordinating job fairs, new hire orientations, and hospital engagement events. Additionally, I contribute to departmental and hospital-wide budget goals by improving HR processes, promoting efficiency, and supporting responsible resource management.
Human Resources Generalist
9 Years 3 Months- I worked closely with the CEO and CFO on high-priority projects, providing HR support and operational insight to advance organizational goals. I ensured continuous HR compliance and maintained strong internal controls by adhering to corporate policies and Joint Commission standards. I managed key HR functions including payroll, benefits administration, and employee relations, and processed biweekly payroll for more than 220 employees using ADP EV6 and Kronos with a focus on accuracy and audit readiness. I supported the new hire onboarding process, including I-9 employment verification, and managed unemployment claims, disputes, and hearings to reduce organizational risk. Throughout all responsibilities, I upheld strict confidentiality of sensitive HR information and handled a variety of administrative functions such as document management, filing, scanning, and data entry to support efficient HR operations.
