I've supported HR operations at Tanami Properties, DAT Engineering Consultancy, and Charismatic Dental Laboratory, managing recruitment, onboarding, offboarding, employee relations, payroll coordination, benefits, and UAE labor-law compliance.
At Korn Ferry and Accenture, I turned HR and recruitment data into workforce dashboards, KPI reporting, and actionable insights using Power BI, Tableau, Qlik Sense, and Advanced Excel. I also improved reporting processes and maintained accurate HR databases.
