What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in HR practices.

I am an accomplished leader with extensive experience in managing HR functions and teams. My proven track record includes developing and implementing successful policies and processes that enhance efficiency and effectiveness within organizations. I excel in delivering professional recruiting, onboarding, and training, leveraging my exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to build and maintain strong relationships with employers, employees, and stakeholders.

Currently, I serve as a Talent Acquisition Manager at Hyatt Regency Trinidad, where I manage the full-cycle recruiting process and administer employee benefits programs. I have developed strategies to increase employee engagement and designed succession planning initiatives to ensure organizational continuity. My previous roles have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of HR operations, from recruitment to performance management, and I am passionate about fostering a positive workplace culture.

With a Master of Business Administration and various HR certifications, I am committed to continuous professional development and staying abreast of industry trends. I am eager to contribute my expertise to an organization that values strategic HR management and employee development.
