Angela Pennell, SHRM-CP — HR Manager
I’ve built my career at the intersection of HR, payroll, and accounting—driven by a passion for people and a love for structure. With experience spanning the nonprofit and hospitality sectors, I’ve led teams, implemented streamlined processes, and handled everything from onboarding and benefits to compliance and payroll with care and precision. What sets me apart is my ability to bridge the gap between numbers and people. I thrive on improving systems while also supporting teams—whether it’s creating more efficient payroll workflows, leading cross-functional initiatives, or simply being a go-to resource for employees who need support and clarity. Some of the accomplishments I’m most proud of include rolling out new onboarding platforms that enhanced the employee experience, managing payroll and benefits transitions with zero disruptions, and helping build stronger, more cohesive teams through transparent communication and leadership. I’m energized by fast-paced environments, but I never lose sight of the people behind the process. If you’re looking for someone who brings heart to HR and discipline to operations, I’d love to connect.
