What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration within a dynamic team.

As a dedicated HR professional, I have always embraced challenges and sought to maximize my potential in every role. My journey began as a former gymnast, which instilled in me a passion for sports and an active lifestyle. Over the years, I have honed my skills in human resources, focusing on creating innovative recruiting software that enhances productivity and improves candidate experiences.

Currently, I serve as the Chief People Officer at OPYN, where I lead a team in managing various HR processes, including recruiting, career development, and employee engagement. My experience spans multiple international environments, allowing me to leverage my language skills as a freelance translator while also contributing to pro-bono initiatives. I thrive on building strong employer branding and talent acquisition strategies that convert potential candidates into outstanding employees.
