What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging HR role that fosters growth and development.

I am a highly motivated individual with a strong background in human resources and management. My experience spans various roles, including Chief Executive Officer at Chill Chops Restaurant and Bar, where I developed and implemented strategic plans for growth and expansion. I pride myself on my ability to analyze market trends and oversee day-to-day operations, ensuring quality control and customer satisfaction.

Previously, I served as a Senior Crew Coordinator at Maersk, where I facilitated the annual HR process and managed crew changes. My role involved liaising with HR headquarters to ensure fully manned rigs and addressing employee inquiries effectively. I also have experience as an HR Coordinator, where I was responsible for recruitment, payroll compliance, and performance management systems.

With a keen sense of discretion and confidentiality, I excel in planning, organizing, and coordinating activities. I am a self-starter who thrives under pressure and possesses excellent communication and leadership skills. I am eager to leverage my industrial knowledge and experience to contribute to the success of a forward-thinking organization.
