Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented HR policies, performance management frameworks, and employee engagement initiatives that foster a productive work environment. I thrive in remote and hybrid work settings, leveraging digital tools to manage distributed teams and execute virtual hiring campaigns. I am now seeking to apply my expertise in HR management, recruitment strategy, and operations leadership in a remote or hybrid role.
