What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my recruitment, HR operations, onboarding, and training experience in a multicultural organization where I can improve candidate and employee experiences.

I've coordinated recruitment, onboarding, and cabin crew training at Escuela de Aviación Aerotraining El Salvador, supporting trainee success and operational readiness.

I manage interview scheduling, candidate evaluations, confidential records, attendance, certifications, and performance documentation with accuracy. I also deliver classroom and practical aviation training while coaching trainees through performance improvement plans.

Previously, I supported hiring strategy as a Recruiter Analyst at AVA's Flowers E-Commerce, using applicant tracking systems, candidate data, market research, and salary benchmarking to improve recruitment workflows.

My experience also includes premium passenger service and cabin operations with Emirates Airlines and Qatar Airways, plus production planning leadership at Empresas ADOC. I bring bilingual Spanish-English communication, cross-cultural collaboration, and calm operational coordination in high-pressure environments.
