Summary
Human Resources professional with seven years of HR experience. I spent many years in payroll until while at my current job, they saw bigger potential in me and asked me to be a part of the HR team. Since being in HR, my focus has been on employee benefits, payroll, employee relations, company culture, recruiting and activity planning. I am looking to join a company with great people and great values and one that allows me to learn and grow in my role.
