HR and Admin specialist building recruitment, performance, and employee relations systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m an HR and Admin specialist with a bachelor’s degree in political science and over 6 years of professional development across Private, Public, and Non-Governmental Organizations. I bring deep expertise in Administration, Recruitment and Selection, Payroll, Budgeting, Contract and Performance Management, and I enjoy training and coaching staff to counsel and motivate them.
I’m well-versed in donor policies (USAID, DFID, ECHO, CDC, PEPFAR, FCDO) and have supported Human resources management across projects including GAIN SAED, Mercy Corp-ERGF – TAZO, GIZ- EU VACE, Gate Foundation, SCL, and Ignite+. My HR objective is to innovatively develop and implement HR initiatives and systems that make organizations a better workplace—while providing excellent assistance to employees and managers.
As a Human Resources Manager, I define and drive HR strategy with leadership, develop job descriptions and contractual terms, and oversee recruitment from job ads through interviews and onboarding. I also set KPIs aligned with organizational goals, coordinate KPI review sessions, provide quarterly performance updates, and work with contract and finance teams to implement compensation and benefits plans.
Across previous HR roles and as a remote consultant, I handled employee relations through first-line investigations, managed travel logistics and attendance (including biometrics and registers), and ensured compliance through accurate reporting and documentation. I’ve helped streamline onboarding (reducing time-to-productivity by 25%), standardize offboarding, cut turnover by 15% in one year, and consistently supported strong client satisfaction and inclusive workplace practices.
