About Lupe Guzman

Human Resource & Payroll Manager | Bilingual HR Professional | People-Centered Leader Portland, OR | HR @ Evans Components Inc. I’m a passionate and results-driven Human Resources and Payroll Manager with 10+ years of experience spanning HR operations, talent acquisition, payroll processing, benefits administration, and employee relations. Currently managing HR and payroll at Evans Components Inc, I bring structure, strategy, and a people-first mindset to everything I do. Known for being resourceful, detail-oriented, and highly approachable, I thrive in dynamic environments where I can wear multiple hats—from leading onboarding programs and ensuring compliance to managing benefits enrollment, garnishments, and performance reviews. I’ve worked across industries, including agriculture, manufacturing, retail, and tech, supporting teams from 30 to 300+. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), tech-savvy across platforms like ADP, Paylocity, Oracle, and BambooHR, and continuously learning through HR certifications and professional development. 🤝 Whether I’m onboarding a new team member, optimizing a payroll system, or attending job fairs to connect with future talent, I lead with empathy, integrity, and a solution-focused mindset. Let’s connect! I love building professional relationships, mentoring others in HR, and sharing insights that help teams thrive.
