HR professional at STREET SMASH BURGERS developing and professionalizing the HR department.

At STREET SMASH BURGERS, I focus on developing and professionalizing the HR department. I manage end-to-end HR, including payroll and benefits, and support leadership in implementing people and culture policies.

At GASTROCO, I managed HR across a restaurant group, aligning strategic objectives with employee well-being. I led hiring processes tailored to hospitality and promoted a collaborative workplace culture.

At GASTROCO, I oversaw the payroll cycle and supported compliance with Portuguese labour legislation. I also drafted and reviewed employment contracts and other legal documents in collaboration with the legal team.

Earlier, as an HR Support Specialist, I supported administrative processes, recruitment, and the day-to-day operations of the HR department. I also volunteered at CR Hope Foundation, contributing to children’s learning through pedagogical activities and teaching materials.
