2020 - 2021
Student Leaders
Hello my name is Kaiza! I work at AnywhereWorks as an HR Intern, and I am in my senior year for Human Resource Management with a Spanish Minor. When I moved to Portland last fall to attend PSU, I was told about HRMA by a community member. The association has helped me choose an HR specialty, network with professionals, and learn of available internships. I love how welcoming it is and the opportunity to have relevant presentations weekly. When I am not studying, I collect fun facts, read, and play soccer.

Portland State and HRMA have both given me many opportunities to learn from others and gain a better understanding of the respective industries that interest me. In addition to HRMA I am involved with several other student organizations, including Badminton Club and Lifting Club. When I get free time I enjoy working out, baking, and hanging out with my friends.

Hello! My name is Lali Diaz and I am a senior at PSU obtaining a bachelor’s degree in human resource management. I had heard from a past member that joining the club is a great networking opportunity for any business student. After attending a few meetings, I realized the wealth of knowledge I could gain by listening in on HR professionals sharing their career experiences. I am excited to become a more active participant of PSU HRMA this year. When I am not in student mode, I am probably playing sports, spending time with family, or exploring new places to eat
