Summary

Building Thriving Workplaces through Expertise & Empathy.

As a driven HR Generalist, I bring a rich blend of expertise in Benefits & Recognition, Leave Management, and Internal & Corporate Communications to create inclusive, supportive work environments. My proficiency in Spanish enhances my ability to connect with diverse teams and foster effective cross-cultural communication. Additionally, I have experience in digital marketing, which allows me to effectively engage and promote our employer brand, enhancing our outreach and attracting top talent.

My professional journey is fueled by a deep-seated research interest in organizational behavior, particularly workaholism, burnout, and women in the workplace. These areas drive my commitment to crafting strategies that not only address but proactively prevent workplace challenges.

Passionate about making a difference and fueled by community, I am a dedicated advocate for mental health, poverty alleviation, and animal welfare. I believe that a thriving workplace is one where every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered.
