Strategic HR Leader | Team Development
With a robust educational background and extensive experience in human resources, I have cultivated a career marked by leadership and strategic HR management. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from London Metropolitan University and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from York University. My professional journey includes serving as a Human Resources Business Partner at Circular Materials, where I managed HR generalist functions such as employee relations and recruitment. Prior to this, I supported HR operations at Lifemark Health Group and contributed to HR initiatives at Cystic Fibrosis Canada. My early career involved a co-op role at the Nature Conservancy of Canada, where I engaged in recruitment and employee development. Additionally, I have honed leadership skills as a Team Leader at Banana Republic. My diverse educational pursuits, including a certificate in Creative Writing from MasterClass.com, reflect a commitment to continuous learning and professional growth.
