What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation.

I am a dedicated and versatile professional with a strong background in Export and Business Development, Human Resources, Administration, Research, Sales, and Teaching Economics. With a BSc in Economics and certification as an HR manager, I leverage my diverse industry knowledge to drive success and foster productive work environments. My experience includes designing and implementing HR strategies, conducting performance appraisals, and advising management on workforce planning and operational improvements.

Throughout my career, I have successfully recruited critical roles, improved operational efficiency, and reduced turnover by addressing employee concerns. My role as an Export & Business Development Manager has honed my skills in market research, sales negotiation, and logistics, while my previous positions in HR management have equipped me with expertise in employee relations, training, and compliance. I am passionate about continuous learning and thrive in roles that involve customer service, communication, and business support.
