What I'm looking for

I am seeking an HR role where I can apply recruitment, payroll and HR administration skills in a collaborative, compliant environment with opportunities for growth.

I am a results-oriented Human Resources professional with hands-on experience in recruitment, payroll processing, HR administration, and employee relations. I excel at managing HR documentation, supporting compliance, and improving office operations in fast-paced environments.

Across roles from HR intern to HR/Administrative Officer and Shift Manager, I led end-to-end recruitment activities, supported payroll submission, administered staff benefits, and coordinated onboarding and exit processes. I have a strong working knowledge of labour law compliance, disciplinary procedures support, and HRIS/payroll systems.

I bring proven interpersonal and coordination skills, attention to detail in records management, and a commitment to fostering productive, customer-focused workplace cultures that support organizational efficiency and growth.
