My name is Sarah Tariq and I have extensive experience in HR, both educational and professional. I'm equipped with a Professional Certificate in Human Resources Management and a CHRP. The areas of HR that I enjoy the most are Onboarding, Employee Satisfaction and Retention, Training and Development and Recruitment. I'm constantly updating my skills and expertise by working on multiple projects and attending networking seminars. During my free time, I enjoy the outdoors with my family and love to bake.
