What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values data-driven HR practices and fosters employee development.

I am a dedicated HR professional with a strong background in recruitment, disability management, and training support. My experience includes working with diverse teams to enhance employee engagement and streamline HR processes. I have successfully managed recruitment for multiple departments, ensuring that the right talent is matched with the right roles.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to analyze HR data to inform decision-making and improve organizational effectiveness. My work with Lethbridge Family Services involved coordinating new hire orientations, maintaining employee training records, and supporting return-to-work planning. Additionally, my remote roles with Squad Consulting and AACSL Accountant Ltd. have honed my skills in policy creation, payroll analysis, and performance management.
