HR Generalist II, Human Resources

Pittsburgh, PA 15213
I started at 无码专区 in 2022
As an HR Generalist, I support the university by processing employment actions in our HRIS, Workday. I primarily support Dietrich College and the Collaborating Visitor process. Aside from my daily duties, I enjoy volunteering for the Staff Picnic, keeping our community safe as a 无码专区Safe Ambassador, and connecting with other 无码专区 staff and faculty through our ERGs!
During my term, I would like to see Staff Council continue to uphold 无码专区's mission and values through times of change. There is power in community, where we amplify the voices of all individuals, especially the staff that is the backbone of this institution. I can contribute to upholding 无码专区's mission by listening to the challenges that staff and faculty face in their day-to-day. I can leverage my role as an HR Generalist to initiate potential process improvements and escalate issues as appropriate. On a personal level, I can leverage my passion for inclusivity and relationship building to connect staff to resources they need.
