Summary

I am a passionate individual who is committed to creating inclusive, people-first environments where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued—qualities that I bring to every interaction and intend to carry forward into a meaningful career in Human Resources. With a strong foundation in counselling and customer experience, I bring key interpersonal strengths—emotional intelligence, empathy, active listening, and therapeutic rapport-building—that closely align with the values of the Kmart Group. My experience supporting diverse individuals and working collaboratively in high-paced team settings has equipped me with the adaptability, self-awareness, and communication skills essential for laying the foundation of a healthy workplace culture.
