Jacqueline S.

Greetings! I’m an adaptable professional who blends a passion for education, cross-cultural interaction, and human resources. Drawing on my experience in anthropology, digital media, and HR administration, I deliver insight-driven, solution-oriented results on every project. 🌟Education: I hold a BS in Anthropology from The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, graduating with honors. This sparked my curiosity about cultures and human interaction. Additionally, I earned an AS in Digital Media Technology from Santa Fe College, graduating with honors and top of my class for layout design. 🌟International Journey: My quest for growth led me through 18 countries, fostering connections with diverse cultures. Volunteering in Workaway.info communities honed my agricultural skills and deepened my understanding of the environment. 🌟ESL and Cultural Exchange: As a freelance ESL instructor, I've merged education and exploration. I design engaging lessons covering grammar, business terminology, and more. I conduct mock interviews, boost confidence, and create interactive learning with games. My adaptability shines as I manage IT issues across time zones during my travels. 🌟Human Resources Expertise: I bring years of diverse HR experience supporting recruitment, onboarding, payroll, and employee transitions across higher education and IT environments. At the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, I managed hiring and onboarding for over 100 non-exempt staff, organized large-scale training events, and led process improvements in collaboration with HR leadership. Currently, as an IT HR Coordinator at the University of South Florida, I guide employment actions, lead detailed onboarding meetings, and help teams navigate approvals and systems following the university’s transition to Oracle. My background includes coordinating offer letters, managing compliance records, and providing dependable support across departments - all while maintaining a people-first, positive approach. 🌟Graphic Design and Creativity: As a Graphic Designer at ID Solutions Inc., I managed projects, optimized production, and reduced waste. 🌟Personal Growth: International experiences transformed me into a resilient, adaptable professional with a calmer demeanor, appreciation for the environment, and ability to navigate challenges gracefully. Excited to foster cross-cultural understanding, education, and organizational excellence. Let's connect!
