I’m Finnley “Finn” Durning, and I support Tailwinds as our Human Resources and Payroll Administrator. In this role, I focus on managing organized, reliable systems that support our clinicians and staff, allowing them to do their best work with confidence and peace of mind. I bring a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to every aspect of my work, grounded in a strong respect for accuracy, compliance, and care.
My background in healthcare administration has equipped me with extensive experience managing complex information, coordinating schedules, processing payments, and maintaining accurate records. I’m especially attentive to details when it comes to payroll, documentation, and administrative processes, and I take pride in ensuring that systems run smoothly and dependably. I understand how essential trust and clarity are in HR and payroll work, and I strive to be a steady, responsive presence for the team.
In addition to payroll administration, I support human resources functions by helping maintain organized records, assisting with onboarding processes, and serving as a reliable point of contact for operational questions. I approach this work with discretion and professionalism, knowing that confidentiality and accuracy are critical. My goal is to help create a workplace environment where staff feel supported, informed, and valued.
I earned Associate degrees in Arts and General Studies from Waubonsee Community College, and I remain committed to continued learning and professional growth. I enjoy administering systems that strengthen the bedrock of our practice. I believe that well-supported teams are better positioned to provide high-quality care, and I’m proud to contribute to that foundation.
Outside of work, I draw balance and inspiration from my interests in nature, food, and the arts, which help inform the calm and thoughtful way I approach my role. I’m grateful to be part of a mission-driven organization and take pride in supporting the people who make Tailwinds a caring, collaborative place to work.
