At Hidden Talent LLC, I execute full-cycle executive and technical recruiting for global candidates, from sourcing and interviews through offer coordination. I also support onboarding, offboarding, and the review cycle.

At KPMG – Jamaica Extended Support Services (JESS), I recruit for KPMG US clients and partner with hiring managers on targeted sourcing strategies and structured interviews. I contribute to improving recruiting workflows and project delivery.

At The National Housing Trust, I delivered HR business partnership across three divisional business units. I led experienced-hire recruitment and managed employee relations matters, including grievances and performance improvement plans.

At International Game Technology (IGT) – now Brightstar Lottery, I delivered regional HR shared services across LAC, covering payroll, benefits, compliance, and HRIS administration. I administered SAP SuccessFactors, People Doc, and MeBeBot records for 400 employees across the region.
