Payroll and workforce cost analytics professional with 15+ years across payroll, HR operations and reporting. I currently lead wage performance and workforce cost analysis for a 75+ site retail pharmacy network across three regions, analysing large payroll and HRIS datasets to explain what is driving labour cost, and building the controls, exception reporting and dashboards that help leaders act with confidence.

Trusted partner to Finance, HR, Operations and IT, with a track record of turning complex analysis into clear recommendations for senior leaders. Skilled in Power BI, Power Query, advanced Excel, data modelling and process automation.
