What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in a progressive, dynamic organization where I can teach, mentor research, and support HR and SME outcomes—using my communication strengths to contribute meaningfully and grow professionally.

I’m a lecturer with strong HR foundations and a practical, people-first approach to teaching and support. I deliver N3–N6 content while staying focused on clarity, stakeholder alignment, and real-world application.

From Sept 2017 to June 2022, I lectured Labour Relations, Industrial Organization & Planning, Supervision in Industry, and Industrial Orientation. I also managed campus resources and admissions, and supported welfare for non-academic staff.

Before teaching, I built operational experience through an HR internship at Solusi University and contract work at Imatec Imaging Technology. I prepared and issued employment contracts, supported recruitment and HR filing, handled leave administration, and recorded meeting minutes and internal memos—while also managing production tasks and logistics like invoices and deliveries.

Since 2022, I’ve been self-employed as a tutor, research mentor, and SME consultant. I guide university research projects and provide consultancy for small-medium businesses, helping people translate job security, workplace performance, and strategy into better outcomes.
