Dual-certified (CPHR, Canada; CHRP-K, Kenya) and holding advanced degrees (Masters of Human Resources Management (MHRM) & Executive Masters of Business Administration (EMBA), I have a proven record of developing and executing HR strategies that drive operational excellence, regulatory compliance, and organizational transformation. Currently serving as Employee Relations Business Partner at SaskEnergy, I provide consultative expertise in collective bargaining, grievance handling, investigations, discipline, and performance management.
