About
I'm a passionate HR professional with 3+ years of experience across luxury retail and hospitality here in Dubai and someone who genuinely loves what HR can do for people when it's done right.I've always believed HR is the "employee doctor" of every organisation. You listen, you diagnose, you support and you help both people and businesses grow. That people-first mindset hasn't changed, but lately it's been colliding with something new — a real passion for Workday HCM.Across every organisation I've worked in, I've naturally become the person colleagues come to when they have a Workday question, a system issue or just need someone to walk them through it. I love that part of my job. And it made me realise this is the direction I want to take my career.So I've taken the leap. I'm currently doing a Workday HCM course on the side and working towards my Workday Pro HCM Core certification and I'm genuinely excited about where this is heading.
