What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an HR administration role where I can manage compliant employee lifecycle processes, strengthen audit-ready documentation, support employees professionally, and contribute to efficient HR operations.

I'm currently supporting HR administration at Defy Appliances, managing employment documentation, onboarding, exits, employee master data, leave, benefits, and HR reporting.

I've strengthened recruitment coordination and documentation control while preparing audit-ready personnel files aligned with BSCI and POPIA requirements. I also support disciplinary processes, policy administration, payroll queries, claims, and employee engagement initiatives.

Earlier, I supported front-office and HR operations at Defy Appliances, handled confidential medical administration at Jackpersad and Partners, and processed accounts payable at Supa Trade. I bring more than 10 years of experience across HR, administration, healthcare, and high-volume record management.
