About

I’m an HR professional with 4 years of experience building HR functions, driving people-first initiatives, and aligning workforce strategy with business goals. I’ve worked across startups where I had the opportunity to design HR frameworks from scratch ;everything from performance systems and policies to engagement programs and HR tech implementation. My expertise includes: 1.Partnering with leadership on workforce planning, succession, and organizational design. 2.Leading change management initiatives and enabling managers through coaching. 3.Building inclusive, employee-focused cultures with recognition, wellness, and engagement programs. 4.Strengthening employer branding through EVP, advocacy, and external campaigns. 5.Managing HR operations end-to-end, including payroll, compliance, and HRIS workflows. I believe HR is not just about processes it’s about creating experiences, enabling people, and building cultures where employees thrive. I’m passionate about working with organizations that value HR as a strategic partner and are committed to building long-term, people-centric growth.
