Summary

Results-driven Professional offering over 20 years of experience in Payroll, HR, and learning environments. While working as a dedicated Sr Payroll Specialist for over 15 years, I not only performed my duties to prepare weekly and biweekly payrolls, but I was also the Time System coordinator for the corporation, as well as having a symbiotic relationship with the Human Resources Department. I worked very closely with HR to help with the New Hire Orientation, run adhoc reports and/or implement benefits changes. Worked very closely with many of our local, domestic and international employees with any concerns or questions regarding Payroll or Human Resources. Looking for a position to put my years of experience and my ability to make employees feel comfortable to use.
