What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on employee wellbeing and people support within ethical, collaborative organizations where I can apply clinical skills to HR operations and contribute to sustainable, human-centered initiatives.

I am a psychologist with international academic training and early professional experience applying clinical and developmental psychology to employee wellbeing and people-centered HR functions.

I have contributed to employee lifecycle activities, internal coordination, and wellbeing programs in regulated public- and private-sector settings, providing emotional guidance, psychoeducational workshops, and preventive psychosocial support.

My work emphasizes confidentiality, ethical standards, and multidisciplinary collaboration, having supported recruitment tasks, HR documentation, and institutional initiatives like grief and caregiver support pathways.

I bring strong communication skills for remote and multicultural environments, bilingual capabilities (Spanish and English), and a human-centered approach focused on empathy, active listening, and sustainable people practices.
