What I'm looking for
I am a Human Resources professional with over 6 years of international experience across Latin America and Europe, currently based in Spain. I am dedicated to creating seamless employee experiences, scaling onboarding programs, and cultivating inclusive, people-centered cultures across borders. My expertise lies in managing HR operations, ensuring compliance with labor laws, and enhancing employee engagement.
In my current role at Avery Dennison Iberia, I manage HR operations for multiple work centers, coordinating the full employee lifecycle from job postings to onboarding. I also oversee training initiatives and serve as the primary point of contact for HR-related queries. My previous experience as an HR Business Partner Advisor has equipped me with the skills to deliver sustainable HR solutions and support organizational leaders in talent management and labor relations.
