Summary
After spending a rewarding year teaching English in Japan, I’ve gained valuable cross-cultural communication skills, adaptability, and a deeper understanding of people—qualities that naturally align with my passion for Human Resources. My experience abroad reinforced my desire to work in a field centered on people, development, and organizational culture.
I am now actively pursuing a career in Human Resources, where I can combine my interpersonal strengths with a strong interest in employee engagement, recruitment, and talent development. I'm eager to contribute to a team that values growth, collaboration, and innovation, while continuing to build my HR knowledge and experience.
