PROFILE

I am a pro-active person with excellent

interpersonal and organizational skills. I

enjoy being part of a team but also work

well independently. I handle pressure

well and find it challenging to work

towards targets and deadlines. Being

exposed to different organizations, I have

a very broad understanding of internal

business processes, HR functionality,

strategic planning and broad-based

customer relations skills.
