What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead HR operations and compliance in a mission-driven organization, drive recruitment and people development, and implement data-informed HR improvements.

I am a dynamic Human Resources Officer with eight years' experience providing end-to-end HR services, recruitment, benefits administration, HRIS management and employee relations in international and multi-jurisdictional settings. I excel at aligning local HR policies with legal and organizational requirements, streamlining HR administrative processes, and delivering onboarding, performance management and learning interventions that improve workforce effectiveness.

I have led recruitment and onboarding for resident and mobile staff, managed payroll variables and benefits, handled disciplinary and grievance processes, and designed staff wellbeing initiatives. I bring strong attention to compliance, data-driven HR reporting, and a collaborative approach to support managers and staff across Kenya and Somalia.
