About

I am an HR Operations professional with 5+ years of experience driving people operations, benefits administration, and compliance for high-growth organizations in the trading and communications industries. Skilled at owning the employee lifecycle from onboarding to offboarding, I bring expertise in Workday HCM, payroll coordination, and benefits programs (health, retirement, leave management) to deliver a seamless and compliant employee experience. In my current role, I lead HR operational initiatives at Optiver, where I manage benefits enrollments and life events in Workday, administer leave requests, and partner with Payroll and Finance to ensure accurate, compliant compensation and payroll processes for 500+ employees. I also direct onboarding and offboarding processes, maintain HR data integrity, and collaborate with vendors and business leaders to solve challenges and streamline workflows. I am passionate about making HR operations both employee-centric and compliance-driven — balancing policy, data, and the human experience. Known for bringing structure to complex processes, I thrive in fast-paced environments where accuracy, discretion, and proactive problem-solving are critical.
