Since joining Walgreens in 2014 as an Employee Relations Specialist, Miranda now serves as the Vice Chair of the Latino Professionals Business Resource Group (BRG). Her participation in this role drives diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives across Walgreens, and provides team members with additional resource opportunities for career development.

Employee relations also oversees company policies and procedures to ensure they protect employees’ rights and hold parties accountable to create a positive work environment.

“I have such fond memories of Walgreens when I was growing up,” she shares. “I remember going to my local Walgreens in Puerto Rico like three times a week. Having the opportunity to work for a company I had a sentimental attachment to was an opportunity I was not going to pass, and on top of that doing a job that supported employees was something that really caught my attention. I never thought they would hire me since I assumed they received thousands of applications for the job, but one key skill that made my resume rise from the pile, was the fact that I spoke Spanish and they needed someone to support Puerto Rico. I always encourage people to apply to that job with the company they want as you might just be what they are looking for.”
