About

As a People & Culture professional, I enjoy building scalable people processes that help startups grow while creating a positive employee experience. Currently at Neverinstall, I am working closely with the founders to build and strengthen the People function from the ground up. My role spans HR Operations, Talent Acquisition, Compliance, Payroll, Administration, Vendor Management, and Employee Experience. Over a period of time the, I have led the implementation of company-wide policies and processes, conducted employee training sessions, supported compliance initiatives, streamlined people operations, and driven hiring efforts to support business growth. With a current team size of 25 employees and expansion plans underway, my focus is on creating systems that scale alongside the organization. My experience across startups has taught me that effective HR is not just about processes—it's about enabling business success while ensuring employees feel supported, engaged, and empowered. Areas of interest: People Operations | HR Strategy | Employee Experience | HR Analytics | Employer Branding.
