What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a dynamic organization that values cultural fluency and strategic HR initiatives, where I can leverage my extensive experience to make a meaningful impact.

I am a Jordanian-Canadian HR professional with over 13 years of progressive experience in both Canada and Jordan. My career has been dedicated to enhancing organizational effectiveness through strategic HR initiatives. I have successfully managed recruitment pipelines, built HR systems from the ground up, and resolved complex employee relations cases. My expertise spans across various sectors, allowing me to align HR strategies with business outcomes effectively.

Throughout my career, I have worked in both unionized and non-unionized environments, implementing HRIS platforms and leading full-cycle talent acquisition across North America. What sets me apart is my cultural fluency; I possess a deep understanding of Western labor practices while being rooted in the norms and dynamics of the Middle Eastern region. Fluent in Arabic and English, I thrive in fast-paced, cross-functional settings and am eager to contribute my knowledge and leadership to a forward-thinking organization in Jordan.
