With over seven years of comprehensive experience across diverse sectors—including manufacturing, telecommunications, and healthcare—I’ve honed my expertise as an HR generalist, navigating the complexities of both small startups and large organizations. I excel in all facets of HR, whether partnering with cross-functional teams or leading as a department of one. I am passionate about empowering employees to reach their full potential, aligning individual growth with organizational success. My background spans domestic and international companies, giving me a nuanced understanding of global HR practices. Fluent in Spanish and English, with conversational proficiency in Italian (A2), I foster effective communication and collaboration across cultural boundaries. I thrive in environments that value development, innovation, and continuous improvement.

I help founders and small teams get organized, stay on track, and actually ship the work. Most businesses I work with hit the same wall. Work is getting done, but it depends on the founder or one key person to keep it moving. Deadlines slip without a nudge. Contractors work in silos. Nobody is quite sure who owns what. I come in and fix that, whether the job is running a single project end to end or building the operating structure underneath it. What I can help with: Project management. Planning, timelines, task tracking, and keeping everyone moving toward the deadline. I run the board, coordinate the contractors, and chase down what is stuck so you do not have to. I work fluently in Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Notion, Trello, Airtable, and similar platforms. Systems and SOPs. Documenting how work actually moves, building workflows the team can follow without constant reminders, and creating the operating cadence that keeps work from falling apart when someone is out. Dashboards and reporting. Defining the metrics that matter, building clean reporting in Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable, or your project platform, and creating a rhythm so leadership can see what is working without digging for it. Team coordination. Clear ownership, clear handoffs, and a weekly rhythm that keeps a distributed or contractor team aligned. Meeting recaps, action item tracking, and follow-up that closes the loop. Launch and program coordination. Multi-stakeholder projects with fixed deadlines. I have run accelerator programs, website redesigns, and product launches across multiple teams and held the structure together when pieces threatened to slip. A few results from recent work: rebuilt a stalled website initiative and shipped 20+ pages in 60 days, took customer acquisition cost from $973 to $13.22 in four months, and ran a 14-week accelerator to 100% participant completion. My background also includes a master's in instructional design and several years of senior operations work inside founder-led businesses, so I bring more than coordinator-level execution to projects that benefit from it. Tell me what is slipping and I will tell you how I would approach it. I can start this week.

Growing teams struggle with process, not talent. I design and implement structured workflow systems for HR and operations teams using Microsoft 365. If your internal processes rely on scattered emails, undocumented steps, or unclear task ownership, I help install repeatable systems that support consistent execution. My work includes: • SOP development and structured playbooks • Workflow design with defined responsibility lanes • Microsoft 365-based tracking systems (Excel, Outlook, Word) • HR workflow implementation (including structured offboarding systems) • Process documentation and governance frameworks I’ve built internal automation engines and structured tracking systems across HR environments, focusing on clarity, accountability, and sustainability.
