About

As part of the Founder’s Office – People & Strategy at Erlin, I work closely with leadership to align people initiatives with business goals. My role spans across: People Operations – leading talent acquisition, campus hiring, engagement, and HR strategy. Strategic Projects – supporting the Founder’s Office with cross-functional initiatives to enable growth. Business & Team Alignment – ensuring that processes, culture, and people practices support scaling effectively. With a Master’s in Psychology and 4+ years of HR experience, I bring a people-first, business-aligned approach to building and scaling startups. I’m always keen to connect with founders, PR leaders, and senior professionals to exchange insights and collaborate on building impactful, growth-ready organizations.
