What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters professional growth and values employee development.

I am a dedicated Human Resources Specialist with over 7 years of experience in recruitment, learning and development, and HR operations. My career has been marked by a commitment to driving effective staffing strategies and improving HR processes. I pride myself on my strong communication and organizational abilities, which have enabled me to deliver impactful training programs and support workplace investigations.

Currently, I serve as a Human Resources Officer at the Norwegian Refugee Council, where I manage full-cycle recruitment and collaborate closely with hiring managers to define role requirements. My role also involves overseeing the employee lifecycle, ensuring compliance with labor laws, and serving as the main contact for HRIS inquiries. Previously, I developed and implemented learning and development strategies that addressed training needs and promoted online learning engagement.
