Who I am
HR chose me before I chose it.
It started in a call center. In my very first job, I found myself in awe of the HR colleagues running interviews and training sessions — at the center of workplace camaraderie while quietly carrying the organisation behind the scenes.
Five years into my career, I took the leap into HR at an IT company with no academic background in the field — learning everything on the job. On reflection, it was one of the best decisions of my life.
HR professionals are often the ones who need help, so that they can in turn help others.
The promise of HR is to bring out the best in people. But in practice, HR teams drown in administrative work before they ever get to that promise. That's the gap I work in: I build the systems, policies and culture documentation that free HR teams to do the work that matters.
