About

I’m a results-driven operations, strategy, and market intelligence professional from Costa Rica with 4+ years of experience building and scaling initiatives across talent acquisition, market research, and data-informed decision-making. My background combines analytical rigor with hands-on execution, allowing me to turn complex inputs into clear recommendations and measurable outcomes.

I’ve led end-to-end recruitment operations, optimized workflows to improve hiring efficiency and quality, and now focus on market and competitive landscape research where I map talent pools, identify trends, and translate evidence into stakeholder-ready insights. With advanced training in business intelligence and consumer behavior, plus strong cross-cultural collaboration skills, I’m at my best in fast-paced environments where I own deliverables and continuously improve how teams work.
