About

My professional journey started in the hospitality industry, where I developed a strong foundation in customer experience, communication, and working in fast-paced environments. I began my career as an F&B Associate at Encalm Hospitality, delivering premium service in a high-pressure airport lounge setting. This experience helped me build discipline, attention to detail, and a people-first approach. As I progressed, I moved to London and grew within Pret A Manger from Team Member to Team Leader, and eventually into a People Operations role. Here, I gained hands-on experience in recruitment coordination, onboarding, employee relations, and managing HR operations in a high-volume, SLA-driven environment. Further strengthening my HR expertise, I worked as a Talent Acquisition Specialist at Blend Family, where I managed end-to-end recruitment processes and supported onboarding for 60+ hires, ensuring smooth operations, compliance, and a positive candidate experience. Alongside my professional experience, I pursued a Master’s in Human Resource Management & Development from Middlesex University and completed multiple certifications including CIPD, building a strong foundation in HR practices and people management. I am passionate about improving employee experience, streamlining HR processes, and contributing to building high-performing teams. With a unique blend of hospitality and HR experience, I bring both business understanding and people-centric thinking. I am currently seeking opportunities in HR Operations, Talent Acquisition, or People Operations where I can add value and continue growing in the HR domain. Let’s connect and explore opportunities.
