My career started in Nicaragua, inside the Chairman of the Board's executive office at Pellas Group, a diversified 12-company group. Eight years of governance-meeting support, shareholder coordination, and cross-company follow-through taught me how decisions actually travel through an organization, long before they reach a policy manual.
At PRC Composites, an aerospace and defense composites manufacturer serving customers including Boeing and General Atomics, my role grew from Office Manager to HR Manager. There, I supported the HR transition through the company's 2016 majority-stake acquisition and formalized HR as the plant expanded to 24-hour, three-shift operations. At United Material Handling, I built the company's first US HR department and scaled it as headcount grew from roughly 250 to 500. During that tenure, the company ranked No. 8 (2021) and No. 9 (2020) on Fortune's Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production list, Small and Medium category.
At Better Nutritionals, a 24-hour FDA, NSF, and BRC regulated nutraceutical manufacturer, a promotion to VP of Human Resources came four months in. People Operations covered more than 2,000 people across three shifts. When the company entered Chapter 11, I built the staffing and compensation model presented to the CEO and McKinsey consultants, then stayed as the last HR professional in the building to run final pay, separations, and benefits termination.
Today, as Chief Human Resources Officer at Halberton & Crowe, I lead the firm's HR function and deliver fractional CHRO engagements for organizations that need executive People leadership now. Doctor of Business Administration expected 2027.
