Demonstrated leadership and teamwork skills through extensive volunteer experience, including coordinating programs and managing events. I am seeking an internship/ entry-level role in Human Resources to leverage my academic background and practical experience to contribute to organizational success and gain further industry-specific skills.

I have developed a strong foundation in customer service, communication, and team coordination through roles in retail and volunteer settings. As a Customer Team Member at Co-op Group, I honed my verbal communication skills and demonstrated the ability to manage time efficiently while balancing multiple tasks. As a Sales Assistant at Andrade Baker’s Basket, I have provided exceptional customer service, enhancing the shopping experience and fostering customer loyalty.

In addition to my retail experience, I have played a significant role as an EasyWorship Software Coordinator at St. Clara's Church in Goa. I managed multimedia presentations, trained volunteers, and provided technical support. My leadership skills were further demonstrated as the President of the Catechists Committee, where I coordinated programs and events, showcasing my organizational and multitasking abilities.

I hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Management with a specialization in Human Resources from the University of Brighton, which will be completed in September 2024. This program equipped me with advanced knowledge in leadership, talent management, and organizational behavior, with coursework focusing on managing talent, performance, and reward systems.

Additionally, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from St. Xavier’s College, Goa (India), graduating with a high FGPA of 8.45/10. My undergraduate studies provided me with a strong foundation in understanding social structures, organizational behavior, and effective communication, which are integral to my HR career.
