Cindy Echavarria

“During my career I have worked in leadership roles that allowed me to perform many of the Human Resources responsibilities. What I realized was my lack of having the educational certification to partner with my experiences was preventing me from landing a position within a HR department. I chose to pursue the schooling needed to give me the educational information to tie in with my experiences.”
