about

I am an HR and People Operations professional with more than 10 years of experience supporting high-growth, multi-location organizations in the U.S. and China. I lead HR operations across recruitment, workforce planning, payroll administration, employee relations, onboarding, performance management, and policy administration. I have hands-on experience with California employment compliance, including wage and hour requirements, meal and rest breaks, paid sick leave, final pay, ACA, EEO, and OSHA processes. I also support ADP payroll, HRIS/ATS workflow improvements, labor-cost analysis, employee handbook administration, and standardized onboarding and offboarding programs. My background includes managing regional HR operations for 100+ employee organizations, supporting rapid retail expansion and new-store openings, building recruitment and talent-development systems, and improving reporting and operational visibility. I bridge China-based headquarters and U.S. teams by localizing HR policies, coordinating cross-cultural stakeholders, and creating practical people processes that support business growth.
