What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my HR expertise and passion for social justice, ideally in a collaborative environment that values diversity and inclusion.

I am a dynamic and detail-oriented Human Resource professional with extensive experience in project coordination, community engagement, and event management. My passion for social justice, equity, and inclusion drives my work, as I have a proven track record of amplifying diverse voices and driving positive change. I excel in relationship-building, stakeholder engagement, and strategic communication, complemented by strong organizational and problem-solving skills.

Currently, I serve as an HR Officer at InsectiPro Limited, where I supervise a team and coordinate HR operations. I have successfully transitioned our HR processes to a streamlined Human Resource Information System (HRIS), enhancing efficiency and accuracy. My previous roles have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of HR functions, from recruitment to compliance, and I am committed to fostering inclusive workplaces that empower individuals.
