What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values collaboration, and allows me to leverage my HR expertise.

I am a reliable and positive HR Manager with extensive experience in employee relations and human resources management. My career has been dedicated to creating and implementing effective HR policies and processes that align with business goals. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about fostering a culture of continuous development and learning.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed HR operations for leading organizations, including BESTSELLER WHOLESALE SPAIN and The Walt Disney Company. My role as a key personnel in these companies involved overseeing HR functions, resolving complex employee relations issues, and ensuring compliance with labor regulations. I take pride in my ability to mentor teams, enhance employee engagement, and drive organizational success through strategic HR initiatives.

With a strong foundation in labor relations and a Master’s Degree in Human Resources Management, I am committed to staying updated on industry trends and best practices. I believe in the power of effective communication and collaboration to build strong relationships within the workplace, and I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to a forward-thinking organization.
