What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply ethnographic research and systemic analysis to strengthen DEIB, internal communications, and employee experience—ideally working on retention and culture change at scale, with openness to relocation.

I’m an innovative DEIB & Organizational Culture Specialist with a background in Applied Anthropology and Archaeology. I translate complex social data into practical, people-centered actions that align with corporate goals.

As a Global DEIB Committee Member and Marketing Communications Chair at Avantor (Jul 2024–Dec 2025), I pioneered the use of social science frameworks to drive structural improvements worldwide. I conducted ethnographic information-gathering to map shadow (non-official) employee networks and provide leadership with actionable insights on sentiment.

I’ve managed professional experience initiatives for a workforce of 900+, directly linking employee wellbeing with corporate goals. I also revamped internal communications to reflect the company’s actual cultural landscape, strengthening employer branding and boosting engagement.

Previously at TTEC (May 2021–Aug 2023), I grew from bilingual Customer Service Representative to Subject-Matter Expert. I advised agents on customer satisfaction best practices, productivity optimization, and campaign performance—experience that continues to inform how I support teams through listening, conflict resolution, and continuous improvement.
