What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters professional growth and values employee engagement.

I am a dedicated Human Resources Officer with over four years of experience enhancing organizational effectiveness through strategic employee relations and human resources policies. My role at the International Rescue Committee involved planning, implementing, and evaluating HR programs that support employee engagement and development. I have successfully managed recruitment processes, conducted training programs, and ensured compliance with health insurance and employee benefits.

My previous experience as a Young Professional Officer with the World Bank Project allowed me to hone my skills in project management and governance. I organized project proposals, monitored implementation, and liaised with various stakeholders to ensure project objectives were met. My ability to communicate effectively and foster collaboration has been key to my success in these roles.
