About

I’m an HR professional with 8+ years of experience helping startups and growing organizations build strong people practices from the ground up. My expertise spans global talent acquisition, HR operations, employee experience, policy development, performance management, and compliance. Over the years, I've partnered closely with founders and leadership teams to build scalable HR processes, hire exceptional talent across multiple functions and geographies, and create workplaces where people can do their best work. I've managed end-to-end recruitment, redesigned HR policies, led performance review cycles, supported employee engagement initiatives, and streamlined day-to-day HR operations in fast-paced, remote-first environments. I enjoy bringing structure to growing teams while keeping the human side of HR at the center. Whether it's attracting top talent, improving processes, or supporting employees throughout their journey, I believe HR should be both strategic and people-focused. I'm currently seeking remote opportunities where I can contribute to building high-performing teams, strengthen people operations, and partner with organizations that value growth, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
