Letitia

LETITIA ANNAMALAY Talent Acquisition Specialist My name is Letitia Annamalay, and being the creative and outspoken person that I am, I am not going to bore you with a generic personal profile! I am a South African based Talent Acquisition Specialist and Bcom Marketing Graduate. I strongly believe that I will change the world we live in for the better, one small act of kindness at a time. It is because of this that I aspire to relocate to a new country to immerse myself in its culture and offerings, all while making a meaningful contribution to society. With a deep curiosity for understanding others and the intricacies of the human mind, I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology. Through this academic pursuit, I aim to become a practicing therapist or psychologist, to enhance the well-being of society which we live in. I thrive in any environment because I take it upon myself to always stay on top of things, plan ahead, keep organized and maintain high levels of professionalism. I sincerely hope my educational qualifications and experience is in line with what you're searching for.
