About Me

Outside of my professional life, I am an avid soccer enthusiast and player, a passion deeply rooted in my Portuguese heritage. I am also a fluent Portuguese speaker, which allows me to stay connected to my culture. Since 2018, I have shared my love for the game as a coach at Mayfield High School, where I find great fulfillment in fostering teamwork, discipline, and player development in the next generation of athletes.

My professional expertise is centered on the core pillars of HR administration, specifically within payroll management, recruitment, and employee relations. I specialize in streamlining HR processes to ensure they are both efficient and accurate, while also utilizing my background in talent acquisition to identify and hire the right people to drive a company’s mission forward.

I have successfully completed my Bachelor of Business Administration. This degree provided the academic foundation I needed to bridge the gap between my technical military experience and my current focus on business operations and human capital management.
