What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strategic HR practices and promotes employee well-being.

I am a seasoned Human Resources professional with extensive experience in leading people strategy, organizational development, and capacity building across various sectors, including healthcare and international organizations. My journey has been marked by a commitment to enhancing employee engagement, implementing effective HR policies, and driving change management initiatives that align with organizational goals.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed HR operations for diverse teams, including leading the HR department for Médecins Sans Frontières in multiple countries. My strategic approach has resulted in improved employee retention, streamlined recruitment processes, and the establishment of robust learning and development frameworks. I am passionate about fostering inclusive workplace cultures and advocating for gender justice, as evidenced by my involvement in various initiatives aimed at combating gender-based violence.

With a strong background in HR analytics and a hands-on attitude, I thrive in multicultural environments and am dedicated to making a positive impact through my work. I am now seeking opportunities where I can leverage my skills in people strategy and change management to contribute to organizational success and employee well-being.
