What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, values diversity, and emphasizes employee development.

As a dedicated HR professional with a strong background in Organizational Psychology and Human Resource Management, I have successfully partnered with various departments to identify workforce needs and implement solutions that align with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles. My experience spans across multiple roles, including Deputy Manager of HR and Learning & Development, where I facilitated talent reviews and leadership development programs, promoting inclusive leadership practices.

Throughout my career, I have led recruitment, onboarding, and succession planning initiatives, integrating diversity goals into talent strategies. My technical skills in SAP and Power BI, combined with my ability to analyze data, have enabled me to measure and improve training outcomes effectively. I am passionate about developing engaging learning resources and executing programs that align with business needs, all while managing significant budgets and collaborating with local and international vendors.
