WORK HISTORY
Senior Compensation Consultant @Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA)
Los Angeles, CA, US
As a Senior Compensation Consultant at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, I drive strategic compensation projects that streamline operations, enhance compliance, and empower HR decision-making. Currently leading a job-matching initiative for over 1,800 roles, I’m optimizing data for more accurate forecasting and analysis across the department- My commitment to process innovation led me to design automated tools for the Compensation and Talent Acquisition teams within my first 90 days, establishing standardized systems for promotions, benchmarking, and offer reviews. These tools, refreshed weekly, have become essential to operational efficiency and continue to evolve with team feedback- In my role, I engage with executive stakeholders, shape policies, and manage high-impact projects. My work on bilingual pay policies and minimum wage compliance, paired with data-driven presentations for the Board and senior leaders, reinforces a transparent, fair, and compliant approach to compensation- Beyond analytics, I focus on mentorship, training, and continuous improvement—leading team training sessions, creating resources to demystify compensation strategies, and volunteering in HR benefits and wellness initiatives to foster a collaborative and inclusive workplace.
