What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote, hybrid, onsite, and U.S. relocation opportunities.

At The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., I processed onboarding, job changes, transfers, and offboarding for a global workforce across 30+ markets. I maintained 99.9% transaction accuracy in ServiceNow and achieved 100% SLA compliance across all four months of FY26 YTD.

Previously, as a Human Resources Representative at The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., I supported HR services. My experience includes employee lifecycle transactions, contracts, benefits enrollment, and compliance with regional labor regulations and SOX requirements.

At Sitel Group, I evaluated quality for the BestBuy / Geek Squad account, conducting more than 200 monthly evaluations and developing scorecards and calibration sessions. This work helped reduce repeat contacts by 18% and improve first-contact resolution by 12%.

Earlier, I directed overnight operations at Waldorf Astoria Panama by Hilton and led a 12-person team. Across customer service, hospitality, sales, and HR, I’ve worked with U.S. and international customers and teams, using platforms including Workday, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Opera PMS.
