What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging HR role that allows for growth and development in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated HR Manager with extensive experience in human resource management and labor relations. Over the years, I have developed and implemented HR strategies that align with business goals, ensuring a motivated and engaged workforce. My journey has taken me through various roles, from HR Admin Manager to Contracts Manager, where I honed my skills in recruitment, performance management, and employee relations.

At Interfoto CC, I currently lead HR initiatives, bridging the gap between management and employees while addressing grievances and enhancing workplace culture. My ability to manage the employee life cycle, from recruitment to exit interviews, has been pivotal in supporting organizational growth. I am passionate about fostering a positive work environment and ensuring compliance with labor laws, which I believe are essential for any successful organization.
