What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, values compliance, and promotes a positive work culture.

I am a dedicated HR professional with over 20 years of experience in administration, human resources, and legal advisory roles. My journey began in 2003, and since then, I have honed my skills in managing teams, ensuring compliance, and fostering positive workplace relationships. My work with various organizations has allowed me to develop a keen understanding of the legal landscape, particularly in the context of women's rights and education.

Throughout my career, I have successfully navigated complex legal challenges, provided sound legal counsel, and implemented effective administrative processes. My role as an advisor and core member in non-government organizations has been particularly fulfilling, as I have contributed to the empowerment of women and girls through education and legal support. I pride myself on my ability to maintain strong relationships with donors and stakeholders, ensuring the longevity and success of the initiatives I am involved in.

As I look to the future, I am eager to leverage my extensive experience in HR and administration to contribute to an organization that values growth, compliance, and a positive work culture. I am committed to continuous learning and adapting to new challenges, ensuring that I remain a valuable asset in any professional setting.
