What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative HR environment that fosters growth and development.

I am a recent graduate with a National Diploma in Human Resources Management, driven to contribute effectively to HR functions while gaining practical work experience. My academic journey has equipped me with strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills, which I have honed through various projects and roles.

In my recent position as a Deputy Presiding Officer with the Independent Electoral Commission, I successfully managed a team during the electoral process, ensuring compliance with regulations and resolving voter disputes professionally. My experience as an Educational Assistant allowed me to support students with diverse learning needs, enhancing their educational experience while managing administrative tasks efficiently.

Additionally, my role as a Perishable General Assistant at Checkers involved managing inventory and providing exceptional customer service, which resulted in high customer satisfaction ratings. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a dynamic HR environment where I can contribute to organizational success.
