Summary

I am a young and passionate individual looking to move to Brisbane, Australia early February 2026.

This decision to move over to Australia stems from my strong enthusiasm and desire to further develop and expand my skill set within my HR career. This move will allow me to explore a wider range of opportunities that will enhance my growth and professional development. With almost two years of HR experience, I will bring a fresh, dynamic perspective to the team. I am committed to fostering positive work environments and contributing to the success of the team. My dedication to both personal and organisational growth allows me to thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments.
