to me

I’m a dynamic professional who seamlessly blends the realms of teaching and talent acquisition. With over two decades of experience, I have honed expertise in full recruitment functions, talent management, and a genuine passion for teaching that makes me a valuable asset in various roles.

I hold a BCom in Industrial Psychology and Tourism Degree from Northwest University. I've also enriched my skill set through a Level 5 TEFL Course and a 120 Hour Advanced TEFL/TESOL Certificate. My commitment to growth is evident through my continuous pursuit of knowledge, reflected in my completion of various in-house recruitment, leadership, and HR courses.

My teaching journey ranges from after-hours online English classes for diverse age groups to formal corporate training initiatives. I've successfully trained Mandarin-speaking employees in English for call center contexts and facilitated training efforts in international locations like Jersey, Isle of Man, and London, highlighting my adaptability and global perspective.

Over my 20-year recruitment and HR journey, I've managed end-to-end resourcing activities, streamlined candidate onboarding, excelled in stakeholder management, and more. My forte lies in fostering collaboration between recruitment and business units, ensuring SLA adherence, and offering actionable insights through strategic reporting.
