Human Resources Coordinator at TD Bank Group | Specializing in Talent Onboarding & Background Screening Compliance | Experienced in Talent Acquisition | Skilled in Office Administration, Research, Teaching & Writing

I am a versatile and results-driven professional with over five years of multidisciplinary experience spanning talent acquisition, office administration, contract coordination, team and product leadership, and customer relations. My career blends operational excellence with a strong foundation in education, research, and mentorship. Beyond my administrative and leadership skills, I bring extensive experience in teaching, curriculum development, coaching, and academic writing. I am fluent in English and French, with additional oral fluency in Dari, Hindi, and Persian, thereby enabling me to work effectively across diverse teams and communities. This commitment to lifelong learning is reflected in my academic journey. I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, with a minor in Philosophy, from York University, a Master of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Ottawa, and a Master of Arts in Immigration and Settlement Studies from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly known as Ryerson University). In April 2025, I forayed into the financial services industry as a Human Resources Coordinator with TD Bank Group, where I am primarily responsible for conducting education and employment verifications and adjudicating candidates as part of the pre-employment screening process. This role allows me to leverage my detail-oriented approach and people-focused mindset in a fast-paced, regulated environment. It also deepens my interest in the financial services sector, and I am eager to continue growing within HR and advance into leadership roles where I can drive strategic impact.
