What I'm looking for

I seek HR roles where I can lead talent strategy, implement data-driven HR programs, support organizational change, and mentor teams in a collaborative, growth-focused culture.

I am an accomplished HR professional with over 17 years of cross-sector experience delivering HR strategy, consulting, and administrative leadership across software, education, manufacturing, and sports federations.

I design and implement talent acquisition, retention, and performance management programs, and have led workforce planning workshops and HR policy formulation that improved operational efficiency and reduced legal risk.

At large organizations I managed full employee lifecycles for 500+ staff, introduced career-path and training programs that increased employee satisfaction, and supported HRIS and payroll/benefits administration.

I consult freelance to deliver customized HR solutions, drive organizational change, and optimize processes through data-driven HR analytics and pragmatic, people-centered initiatives.
