What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support a strong workplace culture and align HR processes with business goals, contributing to a people-first and high-performing environment.

I am a bilingual English-Portuguese HR professional with extensive experience in HR administration and operations. My career has focused on fostering positive workplace culture and aligning HR processes with strategic business goals. I have a strong track record in managing administrative functions, maintaining accurate employee records, and supporting full-cycle HR operations—from recruiting and onboarding to benefits administration and compliance.

In previous roles as an HR Operations Specialist and HR Analyst, I have consistently delivered results by improving internal workflows, supporting international teams, and managing HR systems such as SAP and ADP. I thrive in fast-paced, remote environments and take pride in building structure behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. Passionate about process improvement and employee experience, I am committed to driving operational excellence and supporting inclusive workplace cultures.
