What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic HR role that fosters growth and values employee development.

I am a seasoned HR Officer with extensive experience in human resources management, recognized for my commitment to excellence and continuous professional development. My journey in HR began with a National Diploma in Human Resources Management from Tshwane University of Technology, which laid the foundation for my career. Over the years, I have honed my skills in HR policies, consulting, and management, ensuring that I can effectively meet the diverse needs of any organization.

Throughout my career, I have successfully facilitated holistic recruitment and selection processes, managed payroll functions, and overseen new employee onboarding. My role at the University of Pretoria as a Senior HR Officer allowed me to deliver HR services that align with Service Level Agreement (SLA) targets, while also providing strategic HR solutions to client inquiries. I am adept at managing end-to-end recruitment processes and ensuring compliance with HR policies, which has been pivotal in my contributions to various organizations.

My experience spans multiple HR roles, including HR Practitioner and HR Officer, where I have developed strong interpersonal skills and a deep understanding of HR-related acts. I am passionate about fostering a positive workplace culture and supporting employee development initiatives, making me a valuable asset to any team.
