What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an HR leadership role where I can shape people strategy, lead workforce planning and compensation programs, and use data-driven HR analytics to improve engagement, retention, and compliance with measurable outcomes.

I’m an experienced, bilingual Senior Human Resources Professional with over 16 years of progressive HR experience across strategic HR management and organizational development. I specialize in workforce planning, performance management, talent development, and compensation and benefits—bringing people strategies into alignment with business objectives.

In leadership roles including Director of Human Resources and Human Resources Manager, I’ve managed the full employee lifecycle—recruitment, onboarding, training, performance management, and offboarding—while coaching and leading HR teams. I also lead HR policy execution and audits, ensuring federal, state, and local compliance through best-practice process improvements and structured performance and succession-planning frameworks.

I pride myself on delivering data-driven HR programs that improve productivity, engagement, and operational effectiveness. Highlights include building HR dashboards and KPI reporting for turnover, time-to-hire, and engagement, and driving engagement initiatives that increased overall engagement scores by 75%, along with measurable improvements in retention and employee survey participation.
