What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging crisis communications and LMS expertise in mission-driven organizations, with leadership, cross-cultural engagement, and opportunities to improve processes.

I am a self-motivated senior manager with over a decade of experience leading and teaching diverse teams of up to 250 personnel, specializing in crisis communications, learning management systems, and Latin American policy and culture. I have re-engineered business processes to improve efficiency and safety, delivered clear reports on government policy and international themes, and supported large-scale training programs using Meridian and Microsoft Teams.

I bring frontline experience across Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil, Peru and Bolivia, fluency in English and Spanish, advanced Portuguese and basic German, and a proven record of federal service including FEMA LMS administration, embassy attaché duties, and military command roles—earning awards and rapid promotions for instructional excellence and operational leadership.
