Human Resources Coordinator @ Sodexo
About
💡 I’m driven by purpose: connecting people to opportunities and transforming lives through talent development. I currently work as an HR Coordinator, focusing on Internship, Trainee and Apprenticeship programs, as well as Employer Branding, always aiming to generate real impact for people and the business. I began my career in the field of Communication, leading educational projects involving technology, scholarship programs, and social impact initiatives. That experience sparked my passion for building bridges and led to a career transition into HR, where I’ve been applying my background in strategic projects focused on attracting, developing, and retaining talent. This transition happened naturally, as I realized I could leverage my experience with branding, social projects, and stakeholder engagement to enhance the employee journey. Today, I bring together strategic vision and hands-on execution, always with a focus on meaningful results. Currently, I lead talent programs such as Internship, Trainee and Apprenticeship initiatives, designing development tracks and attraction strategies. I also work with Employer Branding and lead Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts within early-career pipelines. I believe that environments that foster creativity, autonomy and collaboration are more productive and that good decisions must be based on data, not just opinions. I was raised in a low-income neighborhood, daughter of divorced parents, and learned early on that hard work and commitment can change any story. I earned both my undergraduate degree and MBA through scholarships, and I carry with me a strong sense of resilience, competitiveness and gratitude, always grounded, with eyes toward the future. I’ve been expanding my skills in agile methodologies and project management with a social impact lens. I remain committed to continuous learning, staying connected to the evolving world of work, and open to building, collaborating and growing through purpose-driven projects that make a real difference for people and society, while contributing to business sustainability and growth.
