Objective

I am seeking a challenge and job opportunity to develop a career in the USA where I have a deep

academic and working connection since I studied a Master Degree Program at Georgetown University.

As a fully bilingual professional, my field of interest and expertise is human resources, labor/employee relations and consumers rights issues. A key strength is workers compensation education and prevention, in addition of being a lawyer. I performed as an international consultant at the Pan American Health Organization in Washington DC.

Current Status

I am now a member of the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) at both the national and

local level Greenville, South Carolina. I am enrolled in a 12-week prep-course for the SHRM-SCP Exam. I

expect to earn the Senior Certified Professional in the May/June 2020 timeframe.

As a Chilean citizen, I also have a favored position to apply for the H1B1 visa, a more expedited and

simpler process. I have expert local legal counsel on immigration matters who will assist me and

coordinate with the employer in the application and process.

I reside in Simpsonville, South Carolina with my American international parents, a relationship begun over

40 years ago.
