I have been working as a human resources professional for over 15 years. I developed my love for human resources when I was given the opportunity to become a human resources representative for a 250+ diverse workforce. In this position I had the opportunity to interact with all levels of management, conduct employee training on corporate policies and procedures, assist with benefits administration, plan and execute employee activities to build employee morale with a site closure planned. Additionally, I arranged outplacement training, conducted exit interviews and assisted fellow co-workers with finding employment by utilizing recruiting resources. As a driven, self-motivated avid learner who enjoys contributing to an organization's strategic objectives, I earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Business Management in 2008 and graduated with honors. Two years later, I studied and earned my Professional Human Resources certification and completed the requirements to earn my SHRM Certified Professional in December 2015. To maintain both certifications, I attend continuing education activities to stay current on changes in employment law in multiple states and various employee benefit programs, reporting and disclosures. My strengths are in human resources management, organizational development, benefit programs and compliance, employee relations, recruiting strategies and hiring best practices, project management, vendor/carrier relations, employee coaching, development and training programs, compensation planning, performance management, employee events and wellness program activities with a community focus.
