I am thrilled to be joining Weinstock Manion as the new HR Administrative Assistant! In this role, I will support HR operations and administrative functions, contributing to a smooth and efficient workplace. This opportunity is a great next step in my HR career, and I look forward to growing professionally while making a positive impact on the organization.

Although my time at Arixa Capital was short, I gained valuable experience and appreciated the opportunity to grow professionally. I supported recruiting efforts and the onboarding process, ensuring a smooth experience for new hires. I helped implement an applicant tracking system (ATS) to streamline hiring processes and improve efficiency. On the operations side, I organized team lunches and managed budgets for office supplies and snacks, keeping the workplace organized and well-stocked. This role allowed me to expand my HR and administrative skills while contributing to a positive and efficient office environment.

My first role in Human Resources gave me the opportunity to wear many hats and shaped me into the HR professional I am today. I supported the full employee lifecycle from onboarding new hires to coordinating offboarding processes while ensuring compliance with company policies and procedures. I assisted with payroll support, managed administrative tasks, and coordinated company events that fostered employee engagement and strengthened workplace culture. I also gained exposure to employee relations by addressing day-to-day questions and supporting both staff and leadership. This role provided a strong foundation in HR operations and gave me valuable hands-on experience across multiple areas of the field.

One of my first professional roles was working at Starbucks which helped me strengthen my customer service skills and learn how to connect with people. In this fast-paced environment, I mastered the art of multitasking, problem-solving, and handling conflicts with empathy and professionalism. I also loved collaborating with my team to create a welcoming atmosphere for customers while keeping operations running smoothly.
