What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values collaboration, offers growth opportunities, and allows me to implement effective HR strategies.

I am an accomplished Administrative and HR Generalist with extensive experience in managing HR functions, data entry, client relations, and legal compliance. My journey in human resources began with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management, majoring in Human Resource Management, complemented by a Diploma in Business Administration. I am currently pursuing my Certified Human Resource Management Professional (CHRP) certification, which further enhances my expertise in the field.

Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented HR strategies that have significantly improved operational efficiency for small businesses. My freelance work as an Admin and HR Consultant has allowed me to tailor HR policies to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring compliance and enhancing data management. My role as a Human Resource Management Auditor at Agmond International involved auditing HR practices and recommending key training strategies, which improved documentation and compliance measures.

In previous positions, I have established HR departments from scratch, streamlined payroll processes, and enhanced employee engagement through targeted development programs. My strong organizational skills, critical thinking, and ability to adapt have been instrumental in achieving success in various roles, including as an HR Officer and Office Administrator. I am passionate about fostering a collaborative work environment and am committed to continuous improvement in HR practices.
