Summary

With over two decades of diverse professional experience spanning Education, Project Management Controlling and Recruitment, I bring a unique blend of skills and expertise to the table. As a dedicated educator I have a proven track record of designing and executing engaging lesson plans, particularly in the German language curriculum. Leveraging technology, I seamlessly transitioned to online teaching methodologies during challenging times, ensuring continuity in education and student engagement. My experience extends beyond the classroom, where I've held roles in executive assistance and recruitment. At Diehl Group, I spearheaded the establishment of the group-wide recruitment department, implementing effective strategies to attract top talent and align with organizational goals. Additionally, my project management skills were instrumental in implementing key initiatives such as the Balanced Scorecard. Fluent in German, Spanish and English, I possess a deep understanding of multicultural dynamics, having worked in diverse settings across Mexico and Germany. This linguistic and cultural fluency enables me to effectively communicate and collaborate with stakeholders from varying backgrounds. As I embark on the next chapter of my career journey, I am eager to leverage my diverse skill set and passion for education and organizational development. Whether it's shaping young minds in the classroom or contributing to strategic initiatives in a dynamic work environment, I am committed to making a meaningful difference.
