I have over 25 years of experience in HR, with 20 of those years being with Kimberly-Clark. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work in local, regional, and global roles, which has allowed me to gain a diverse perspective on HR practices. I have also had the privilege of moving three times with my family for my career, living in three different countries.Outside of work, I am a proud mother of two sons. I love to travel and explore new places, and I also enjoy running as a way to stay active. What drives me in my career is my strong purpose to make a difference in people\'s lives, and that\'s what brought me to Kimberly-Clark.
