What I'm looking for

I seek a role blending HR and content/data work where I can apply analytics and writing to improve processes, drive growth, and mentor teams.

I am a versatile, results-driven professional with experience in content writing, human resources, and data science. I combine creativity and analytics to produce SEO-optimized content and to inform HR and operational decisions.

I have a Bachelor of Science (Honors) in Human Resources Management and a Certificate in Introduction to Data Science from Cisco Networking Academy, which I use to bridge people practices with data-driven insights.

In practice, I have produced high-quality, research-driven content, managed freelance teams including recruitment and performance management, and supported recruitment and onboarding processes in corporate HR.

I leverage AI tools, CMS platforms, Python basics, Excel, and visualization techniques to optimize workflows, improve content visibility, and drive organizational efficiency.
