What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and supports employee development.

I am a dedicated HR Generalist currently working with Lufthansa In Touch, where I manage the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment to onboarding and exit procedures. My role involves supporting line managers in performance management and ensuring compliance with local labor laws. I am passionate about driving employee engagement and fostering a positive workplace culture.

Previously, I served as a Human Resource Practitioner at Karasburg Town Council, where I handled payroll administration, employee training, and performance management. My experience also includes acting as the Chief Executive Officer and Manager for Finance, HR, and Administration, showcasing my leadership capabilities. I have a proven track record in industrial relations, talent management, and employee wellness initiatives.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration majoring in Human Resource Management, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute effectively to any HR team. I thrive in environments that value collaboration and continuous improvement, and I am eager to leverage my expertise to support organizational goals.
