What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply organizational psychology, talent sourcing, and data analysis in an HR or people-focused role where I can improve employee experience, selection, retention, and digital HR processes.

At Virtual University of Pakistan, I delivered psychology lectures, advised and mentored students, and increased student engagement by 40% through interactive e-learning and assessment strategies.

I improved LMS record-management workflows, reducing retrieval time by 25%, and collaborated with software teams to improve the Virtual Information System, exam software, and LMS usability. I also coordinated integration initiatives for more than 100 students, job fairs, recruiting events, and digital education training during COVID-19.

As a freelance headhunter, I sourced and screened technology candidates through LinkedIn, coordinated phone screens, maintained job descriptions, and supported a positive candidate experience for startup vacancies.

I'm currently completing an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's in Work, Organizational and Personnel Psychology, where I research teleworker well-being and apply evidence-based approaches to talent retention and personnel selection.
