What I'm looking for

I am looking for HR roles that offer growth, diversity, and collaboration.

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.

Currently, I serve as an HR Specialist at COFCO International, where I manage payroll and HR activities across multiple locations, including Porto and Barcelona. My responsibilities encompass everything from payroll integration to performance management and offboarding processes. I am dedicated to fostering a culture of collaboration and ensuring compliance with legal requirements, all while supporting the employee life cycle from onboarding to offboarding.

As I seek new opportunities, I am excited to continue my journey in HR, particularly in roles that challenge me and allow for personal and professional growth. I am eager to leverage my skills in talent acquisition and HR management to contribute to a dynamic organization.
