What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values HR technology and continuous improvement, offering opportunities for professional growth.

I am an experienced and detail-oriented HR and Payroll Specialist with over 4 years of combined Canadian and international experience. My expertise lies in human resources, payroll compliance, employee relations, and HRIS systems. I have a proven track record of supporting end-to-end HR functions, ensuring regulatory compliance with Ontario ESA and OHRC, and enhancing employee experience in both unionized and high-volume environments.

Currently, I work at Cargill as an Associate HR Operations Specialist, where I manage full-cycle payroll and HR administration for unionized employees. I advise supervisors on attendance issues and deliver onboarding training to new hires. My previous experience as a Human Resources Manager in Cameroon allowed me to develop and manage HR departments, implement training programs, and lead recruitment initiatives. I hold an MBA in HR, a PCP designation, and a credential in Artificial Intelligence in HR, which I leverage to support strategic business goals.
