As a mission-driven People & Culture leader, I bring over 10 years of progressive HR experience, with a focus on full-cycle HR leadership across diverse regions including Africa, Asia, and Latin America. My expertise lies in recruitment, employee engagement, and integrating DEI strategies within nonprofit and social impact organizations. I am passionate about building scalable systems for remote teams and enhancing the employee experience at every stage.

In my current role as Global HR Manager at a Social Impact Initiative, I have successfully led high-impact HR initiatives across 40 countries, focusing on equity and operational excellence in conflict-affected regions. I designed a global compensation philosophy that reduced pay disparities by 18% and implemented a competency-based performance evaluation system that increased staff engagement by 25%. My commitment to social justice and collaborative culture-building drives my efforts to align HR strategies with organizational goals.

Throughout my career, I have pioneered anti-exploitation programs and developed DEI-driven onboarding initiatives that have significantly improved workplace culture and reduced grievances. I am dedicated to fostering inclusive environments and ensuring compliance with labor laws while advocating for equitable hiring practices. My goal is to continue making a meaningful impact in the HR field by driving equity-focused strategies that align with organizational missions.
