About

Professional summary

I am a dynamic and empathetic HR professional with an MBA in Human Resource Management and over six years of prior experience in quality assurance and technology consulting. I am transitioning my technical, analytical, and stakeholder-management background into strategic human resources and talent acquisition roles.

I currently manage training and placement activities, building recruitment partnerships with HR leaders and industry executives, tracking market hiring trends, and coordinating campus recruitment drives. I support student employability through workshops, aptitude assessments, technical screenings, mock interviews, and placement policy administration.

I also serve as an HR Lead Intern, where I oversee attendance, leave records, HR documentation, onboarding, offboarding, interview coordination, HR databases, and employee-management communication. I am committed to maintaining confidential, accurate, and compliant people processes.

My HR strengths include talent acquisition strategy, candidate sourcing, employee relations, conflict resolution, HR analytics, benefits administration, onboarding, and HR documentation. I am familiar with Boolean search, social recruiting, job boards, LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS platforms, HRIS systems, and HRMS tools.

My earlier QA career developed my capabilities in requirements analysis, process improvement, cross-functional collaboration, documentation, customer engagement, and quality delivery. I bring a detail-oriented and data-driven mindset to HR operations while focusing on inclusive workplace cultures and alignment between people practices and business goals.
