Accomplishment you’re proud of?
I’m proud of having worked my way up from an entry-level position to a Human Resources Generalist at my previous company. Throughout that journey, I dedicated myself to learning from mentors, gaining hands-on experience, and continuously improving my skills. I focused not only on enhancing HR processes but also on fostering an inclusive, supportive workplace culture that reflected our values.
What is your area of specialty – how do you best help your clients?
I specialize in building strong HR foundations that support both talent acquisition and employee experience. With hands-on expertise in recruiting and onboarding, I’ve helped teams grow strategically by finding the right people and ensuring a seamless, engaging transition into the company. I’m passionate about creating structured processes that not only improve efficiency but also leave room for a human-centered approach.
My focus on company culture drives everything I do—from designing onboarding programs that reflect core values to implementing initiatives that strengthen inclusion and collaboration. I believe that great culture doesn’t just happen—it’s built intentionally through clear processes, open communication, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
