What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply I/O psychology to design training, improve selection, and use data to boost retention and employee experience in collaborative, impact-driven teams.

I am an Industrial/Organizational Psychology graduate who blends applied I/O principles with practical experience in training, recruitment, and program improvement. I have led onboarding and development initiatives, conducted selection interviews emphasizing mindset and grit, and used data (Excel, Qualtrics) to drive retention and service-quality gains.

I have supported managers in resolving employee challenges, designed training materials for peer staff, and produced actionable reports that improved customer-facing programs; I also have experience in fundraising, client relations, and marketing communications that enhance stakeholder engagement and program outcomes.
