Background: Human Relations Leader at start-up, mid-sized and large organizations in Technology, Medical Research, Healthcare, and Biotechnology. Details: Human workplace advocate and facilitator of teams and communities that empower people to do their best work. Passion for creating resilient, sustainable workplaces and collectively moving teams from a 'what' to a 'why' mindset. 'What' we do matters, 'why' we do it drives engagement, commitment, and ultimately, productivity and quality. I believe that community drives culture, not the other way around. Belonging, diversity, equity and inclusion matter, and are at the heartbeat of innovation. Driven by a relentless curiosity for human dynamics, I have learned that I cannot possibly know it all -- but I have gotten good at asking the right questions. Then we identify solutions, together. Other (possibly) interesting facts: Fluent in English, German and Spanish. I started my professional and educational path in Europe. I am a fan of integrating the principles of design thinking, sustainability and biomimicry in HR. Masters degree in Clinical Psychology. Specialization in organizational and group dynamics with a focus on communication and conflict resolution. Sound mastery of mediation processes (1:1 and group settings) in high stakes, volatile and diverse environments. Pro Bono work: Facilitator of emotional literacy groups and victim/offender dialogues, San Quentin State Prison.
