What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, encourages innovation, and values teamwork.

With over 10 years of experience in administrative and HR functions, I am passionate about building capable teams and streamlining operations. My journey has equipped me with the skills to identify bottlenecks and design cost-effective solutions that drive growth. Currently, I serve as the Manager of HR and Administration at Shalina Healthcare, where I have successfully implemented process improvements that increased administrative efficiency by 25%.

Throughout my career, I have coordinated recruitment, onboarding, and employee engagement initiatives, ensuring smooth operations in both remote and hybrid settings. My role at Lafarge Plc as an Assistant HR Manager allowed me to oversee high-volume operations and enhance employee participation in virtual training programs. I thrive on using digital collaboration tools to facilitate communication and improve workflows.

I hold a Master’s degree in Business Administration with a focus on Human Resources and have completed various certifications that enhance my expertise in HR strategy and processes. I am committed to continuous learning and applying innovative practices in HR management to foster a productive work environment.
