What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters continuous improvement and values diversity.

With over 15 years of experience in human resources, I have honed my skills as a generalist, business partner, and coordinator. My expertise lies in talent acquisition, development, succession planning, and performance management. I have successfully navigated international environments, ensuring compliance with local laws while aligning HR strategies with global standards.

Currently, I serve as a Human Resources Generalist at Woodgrove Technologies, where I manage full-cycle recruitment and lead initiatives to promote a positive workplace culture. My previous roles have equipped me with a strong foundation in HR operations, workforce planning, and people analytics, allowing me to make data-driven decisions that enhance organizational effectiveness.

I am passionate about continuous improvement and fostering diversity and inclusion within the workplace. My proficiency in English and Spanish, combined with my analytical mindset, enables me to effectively collaborate with diverse teams and drive impactful HR initiatives.
