What I'm looking for
I’m a strategic IT Business Partner and technology strategist who aligns technology solutions with organizational goals. With a Master’s degree in IT Management, I translate business needs into actionable IT strategies that improve operational efficiency and end-user experience.
I’ve led technology-enabled improvements as an Sr. HR & IT Operations Lead, partnering with leadership to ensure operational continuity and audit-ready compliance. I modernized internal processes by implementing digital tools that improved accuracy, reporting, and workflow efficiency.
In enterprise environments, I’ve driven lifecycle management and delivered reliable IT support through onsite and remote troubleshooting across hardware, OS, applications, and mobile devices. I use ServiceNow for ticketing and trend analysis, and I regularly partner with business stakeholders to define IT strategies for improvement.
I also bring project and implementation experience, including end-to-end telematics solution onboarding, training delivery for user adoption, and configuration validation to ensure system readiness. I’m bilingual (EN/ES), and I’m known for stakeholder engagement, change management, and documentation that strengthens compliance and long-term scalability.
