What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote roles hiring worldwide, in EMEA, or in Africa, as an employee via EOR or as a contractor.

At United States Peace Corps Namibia, I supported staffing across departments, participated in interview panels, and streamlined the annual contract renewal process. I also coordinated onboarding for national and international personnel and managed work permits and visas with the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Across HR roles in Namibia, I administered payroll and benefits, supported employee relations, and maintained confidential records in line with the Namibian Labour Act. I'm open to remote employee or contractor roles worldwide, in EMEA, or in Africa.
