I am a bilingual Human Resources professional with a Psychology degree and a strong focus on HR operations and compliance within the healthcare sector.

I serve as the first point of contact for large employee populations, managing licensure compliance and coordinating return-to-work and benefits processes to maintain regulatory standards.

I have led and coached recruiting teams, managed full-cycle technical recruitment, and implemented streamlined hiring workflows using tools like iCIMS, Bullhorn, Taleo, and PeopleSoft.
