My experience in personnel management, conflict resolution, and regulatory compliance equips me to contribute to organizations focused on inclusion, efficiency, and growth.

I am actively seeking opportunities in healthcare HR, operational strategy, and talent management, where I can leverage my expertise to enhance workplace culture and organizational effectiveness

I have held leadership roles, including serving as Interim General Manager at McDonald's since 2020, where I manage daily operations and lead a team.
