I have extensive experience in Human Resources with a specialization in Benefits and Absence Administration. I am a skilled leader in the roles of a Benefits Administrator and Account Services Manager. My knowledge of the full cycle of benefits administration includes: discussing renewal rates, drafting and distributing bid specifications and providing recommendations, creating consistent new hire materials and conducting new hire orientation through onboarding, employee enrollment meetings and communications for all plans, providing ongoing assistance with claims, billing and legislative matters, maintaining confidential records and HRIS with integration to the Payroll Department, and preparing strategic planning for all benefits annually. I also have wide-ranging experience with administration of group / self-insured benefit plans and with various compliancy issues, including: FMLA documentation and HIPAA compliance, as well as state laws.
