With a unique background that began in ballet and evolved through volleyball, I have cultivated a keen attention to detail, teamwork, and decision-making skills. My international experiences have enriched my adaptability and personal growth, leading me to pursue a career in Human Resources. I thrive in environments that require collaboration and cultural sensitivity, which I have honed through my studies and professional experiences.
