What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply HR analytics and people data systems to improve compliance, workforce operations, and retention—with measurable impact, strong mentoring, and multicultural collaboration.

I’m a bilingual HR professional (English & French) who turns people data into practical business decisions across compliance, workforce operations, and recruitment analytics. I’m currently completing a Master’s in Human Resource Management while strengthening my expertise in HR analytics tools and people data systems.

In my HR Analyst Intern role with OHADA, I built a 10-point OHADA compliance checklist that reduced legal interpretation errors for the HR team by an estimated 25%. I audited 20+ employment contracts, identified a 15% discrepancy rate in termination clauses, and helped standardize contract templates.

I also use analytics to improve outcomes for real teams: I produced diversity reports that surfaced gender representation gaps in senior roles, analyzed recruitment channels to find employee referrals delivered 35% higher retention, and evaluated mandatory training effectiveness with a 50% average increase in legal knowledge among non-legal staff. I’m comfortable communicating complex findings clearly to non-specialist stakeholders in multicultural environments.

Before that, I handled HR operations end-to-end—maintaining 100% payroll accuracy, reducing onboarding cycle time by 25%, and optimizing workforce planning to cut overtime costs by 15%. I also led document digitization that reduced retrieval time by 30% and demonstrated leadership through founding a studio that builds brand identity for startups and SMEs.
