Gaadha Jayaprakash

I am pursuing my Global MBA from Sheffield Hallam University currently. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Cochin University of Science and Technology and  worked in Pipefield India private limited for two years as HR Assistant.

My journey through academia and the professional world has bestowed upon me a profound understanding of various facets within HR, including talent acquisition, employee engagement, team leadership, performance management, and HR policy development. Moreover, I have honed my exceptional communication and leadership abilities, as exemplified by my role as Head Girl during my school years and the numerous accolades I received for leadership and personality traits throughout my educational journey. I was also awarded the Ideal Student of 2015 batch and Best Personality 2015 by the school.

In my current role as Shift Manager at Taco Bell, I have consistently maintained harmonious team dynamics, closely collaborating with both management and employees to adeptly resolve conflicts, nurture a positive work ethos, and promote employee engagement initiatives. My efforts have significantly elevated overall job satisfaction and productivity, earning me the distinction of 'Leader of the Month' for two consecutive months due to my unwavering dedication and relentless work ethic.
