About

Experienced HR professional with a strong background in HR management, labour law, payroll coordination, and employee relations. I have extensive experience managing end-to-end HR agenda, including recruitment, HR administration, cooperation with trade unions, and supporting management in complex and demanding environments. Throughout my career, I have worked in both corporate and operational settings, where I developed the ability to balance business needs with employee relations and legal compliance. I am used to working independently, handling high workloads, and navigating challenging situations with a pragmatic and solution-oriented approach. Currently open to new opportunities where I can bring my experience and contribute to building a stable and effective HR function.
