About

With extensive experience in both strategic and operational Human Resources Management across various industries and organizations of different sizes, I am a passionate and empathetic People & Culture leader. I bring a modern approach to empowering employees and leaders to grow independently in a respectful, supportive environment. Starting my career in the hospitality industry and progressing to manage larger teams, I’ve come to deeply appreciate the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership. I believe a forward-thinking People & Culture department is essential for fostering sustainable organizational growth by promoting positive leadership and a strong development culture. I highly value teamwork and open communication, leveraging strong interpersonal skills to build collaborative environments. I am organized, efficient, and hands-on, with a keen sense for prioritization and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
