Businesses thrive when every employee grasps the long-term corporate vision and is equipped by management to help deliver on that promise. As an HR thought leader, my role is to facilitate that understanding and offer a well-stocked HR toolkit that allows personnel at every level to benefit from the organization's progress. Achieving this depends of having a comprehensive view of how the organization currently functions and developing the processes and procedures that will facilitate positive change. I then routinely manage workforce planning and development, talent recruitment and management, and leadership development and succession planning. As a data-driven analyst, I keep tabs of our progress all the time, which allows me to identify potential roadblocks and eliminate them without delay. I also train and mentor personnel throughout the organization to ensure that we are all on the same page with respect to goals and how to reach them. My organizational experience has been broad and diverse. I have handled all HR functions for a daily newspaper with 1,100 employees at 18 locations, managed the global HR needs of an international purveyor of luxury goods, and served as a full business partner within a 25,000-member benefits fund with 160 employees. In every case, my involvement has enhanced engagement, boosted performance, and delivered significant growth.

I am very passionate about the law, and will always go the extra mile to make sure the work I produce meets the expectations of my clients and surpasses those of my adversaries.

HELLO, WORLD!!! My name is Daisy and I can't wait to be your next writer! I have an extremely large amount of knowledge across several areas, all of which I encountered at some point in my life. Hmm... Where should I start?... - Growing up with Hispanic immigrant parents since before the technology era started - Going through the US educational system as both a student and parent - My intense passion, experience, and training with art and music - Experiencing both physical and mental health issues - Being a single parent of a, now, teenage daughter - Positive/negative encounters with people in today's society - Collecting knowledge through different employment opportunities, ranging from customer service, debt collections, staffing agency recruiting and management, labor and employment, personal injury, AND immigration law... With the occasional retail, catering, and self-employment attempts... (WHEW! Even I got tired getting all of that out... LOL!) Yet, I'd NEVER reject the opportunity to learn about anything new! Even though I am new to the writing world, I'm more than eager to show my artistically enthusiastic demeanor by providing a fresh viewpoint (and opinion, if warranted) while ensuring a high-quality piece of writing, worthy of being shared the public... or professional assistance with legal writing, transcription, translation between English and Spanish, and attention-grabbing advertising. I appreciate the time you invested in learning more about me and what I could possibly offer you... I promise to return the favor!
