What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level HR role where I can combine coordination, recruitment support, research, and strong communication—contributing to people-centered processes and continuous improvement in a mission-driven team.

I’m a junior HR professional who supports people and organizations through structured coordination, clear communication, and practical administrative follow-through. As a Coordinator for Monitoring Commissions in prison, I assist commission members, manage monthly meetings and visits, draft meeting minutes, produce weekly newsletters, and recruit new members—while also contributing to annual surveys through interview transcription and research.

I also bring a strong people-development and research mindset through volunteer and internship roles. I’ve led workshops and awareness activities in prison settings, served as a volunteer secretary for GENEPI Belgique, managed communication activities (including social media content and crowdfunding) for NGO projects, supported job seekers with CV/cover-letter preparation, and conducted HR-focused research on working conditions and employee behavior.
