From recent graduate to hiring the next generation of talent
I graduated from McGill University with a Bachelor's in Industrial and Labour Relations, complemented by a double minor in Environment and Social Entrepreneurship. As a proud French-Mexican who speaks Spanish, French, and English fluently, I thrive in diverse, multicultural settings.
Having lived on three continents and in four cities, I’m passionate about connecting with people from all walks of life. After graduating in December 2023, I immediately embarked on an internship in talent acquisition, followed by two months of traveling across Central and North America to broaden my horizons.
Now, I’ve joined Alstom as a Campus Recruiter, where I’m excited to help shape the next generation of talent. 🌎✨
I hire interns and new grads to shape Alstom’s future talent
As Alstom’s Campus Recruiter, I focus on attracting top interns and new grads while building strong partnerships with universities in Quebec and Ontario. I lead and organize key events such as career fairs, networking sessions, and info sessions to boost Alstom’s visibility across North America. These initiatives allow us to connect with the brightest talent, showcase our opportunities, and engage directly with students.
Beyond recruitment, I collaborate with university career centers and student organizations to ensure Alstom is top of mind for future talent. My goal is to create lasting relationships, highlight our commitment to innovation, and position Alstom as a preferred employer in North America. By combining recruitment efforts with strategic partnerships, I help build a strong pipeline for future leaders while strengthening our presence in key academic communities.
Participating into building a better future
For me, participating into building a better future by actively contributing to positive change is what motivates me on a day to day. Whether it’s through innovation, collaboration, or advocating for what matters, I believe we all have a role to play. It’s about using our skills and passion to create opportunities, solve challenges, and inspire others to do the same. Every small action counts, and by working together, we can shape a future that’s more inclusive, sustainable, and full of potential.
Embrace opportunities, build relationships, and always keep learning
The key to success isn’t just about what you know, but how you embrace opportunities, connect with others, and keep learning. Life is full of chances to grow, and the more open you are to them, the more you’ll discover. Surround yourself with people who inspire you, and never stop evolving.
Leaving my family to pursue my studies at a top global university
I left my family and everything I knew behind to move to Montreal and pursue higher education. Now, home is a 13-hour flight away, with a 9-hour time difference. It wasn’t an easy transition, but I truly believe I wouldn’t be who I am today if I had stayed in my comfort zone.
Having studied my entire life in the French education system, coming to an English-only university was a big challenge. But it pushed me to become fully bilingual because there was no other choice.
I’d never lived anywhere where temperatures drop below zero—coming from a place where summer temperatures could reach 45 to 50 degrees (and I’m not exaggerating!). I had to find a way to adapt, or else I would have struggled to enjoy my time here for half the year. (Yes, skiing is now one of my many passions! ;) )
These experiences showed me that stepping out of your comfort zone, though tough at first, helps you build resilience and adaptability.
