What I'm looking for

I seek an HR leadership role where I can drive transparent recruitment, performance management, employee development and inclusive workplace culture while contributing HR strategy and measurable people outcomes.

I am a Human Resources professional with over six years of hands-on experience leading recruitment, onboarding, performance management and HR operations across private-sector organizations. I design and implement merit-based recruitment processes, onboarding plans and performance appraisal systems that drive transparency and higher productivity.

I have led HR functions as Talent Acquisition & Performance Management Lead and as HR Manager for multiple companies, delivering improvements in staffing efficiency, employee scheduling, policy development, payroll administration and employee relations. I routinely provide management with data-driven recruitment and performance reports to support decision-making.

I bring strong competencies in HR policy & procedure development, compensation and benefits, training and development, payroll management and HR metrics, and I am committed to promoting inclusion, resolving conflicts and building positive workplace culture.
