Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
With over 10 years of global experience in HR, my journey has been driven by a passion for people, leading me to pursue a Master’s in Human Resources Management, building on my background in Psychology. This combination of skills has provided me with a broad understanding of human behavior, which I apply to foster high-performing teams, drive employee engagement, and create environments where talent thrives. I am skilled in full-cycle talent acquisition, employee development, performance management, and compliance. Additionally, I leverage technology to streamline HR operations, with hands-on experience implementing HRIS systems and ATS platforms to optimize HR processes and enhance data integrity through strategic use of HR metrics. A key milestone in my career was working through the merger of two leading companies, which deepened my understanding of HR processes across all areas. This experience allowed me to not only refine existing policies but also create new ones, aligning them with evolving business goals. As a CPHR candidate working towards the final step of the process, I am committed to continuously expanding my HR expertise and professional development. Fluent in English, French, and Spanish, I bring a multicultural perspective and strong communication skills to support diverse teams and drive organizational success.
