About

My affinity for HR stems from my natural inclination towards people and their unique talents and abilities. My educational background in Human Resources has provided me with valuable insights into various aspects of HR, but it was my work in recruitment that truly ignited my passion. As a recruiter, I am responsible for hiring exceptional technology professionals who have the skills to create world-class products that drive growth and innovation. In addition to my professional pursuits, I am also deeply passionate about traveling and the arts. Traveling exposes me to diverse cultures and ways of thinking, while art allows me to express my thoughts and emotions in ways that words cannot always capture. I believe that maintaining a healthy work-life balance is crucial for staying motivated, and I prioritise pursuing my interests outside of work to promote positive mental health.
