Meet Awilda
Star Wars, vintage clothing, and sneaking into grad school: what on earth do these things have to do with Human Resources?
Come on in and have a seatβletβs talk about it.
Letβs start here: HR is tough. Itβs about making life-changing decisions that impact peopleβs lives and careers. These moments arenβt easy, and they can linger with you. Thatβs why I believe HR professionals thrive when they prioritize their mental health and embrace positive psychology. Itβs about staying strong for yourself and for others.
But HR isnβt my only passion. Over the past 20+ years, Iβve discovered that the same principles that drive effective HRβconnection, empathy, and strategyβalso fuel my love for Marketing, Branding, and Design. These fields are all about understanding people, telling compelling stories, and creating connections.
The Roots of HR Psych
I started HR Psych because I couldnβt keep all that experience bottled up. Armed with a Bachelorβs in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and a Masterβs in Human Resource Management, I built HR Psych on three core pillars: Coaching, Consultation, and Education. Over time, itβs grown into so much more, offering a full suite of services:
HR Services: Building inclusive, people-first workplaces.
Marketing & Branding: Crafting authentic narratives that elevate your business.
Website Design: Designing sleek, functional websites to amplify your presence.
Social Media Management: Turning platforms into communities that drive engagement and growth.
HR is in My DNA
My mother, an active-duty military professional, worked tirelessly to earn her degrees in HR. As a kid, I tagged along to her night classes, absorbing her grit and passion like osmosisβor magic, depending on how you look at it. Her determination shaped my belief that you can forge your own path while staying true to who you are.
Why I Care
Iβm here to flip the script on how people see HRβand the professionals behind it.
Itβs okay to be different. Iβm a Star Wars-loving, vintage clothes-wearing, tattooed Latina professional, and Iβve built a career that blends the best of HR and creativity. Your authenticity is your superpower.
Itβs okay to be challenged. Growth comes from disruption. I embrace every challenge as a chance to learn and get better.
One-size-fits-all is over. Whether itβs HR solutions or branding strategies, everything I do is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
The days of rigid, intimidating corporate HR are over. Iβm proud to be part of a cultural shift where human connection, creativity, and innovation take center stage. Whether itβs building stronger workplaces, designing standout brands, or crafting engaging digital spaces, Iβm here to help you move into the futureβwith purpose and style.
