What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values employee engagement, and encourages innovative HR practices.

I am an experienced HR Executive with over 3 years in HR management, business development, and operations. My career has been marked by a proven track record in optimizing processes, driving employee engagement, and supporting business growth through strategic project involvement and event coordination. I am skilled in recruitment, team leadership, and fostering a positive work culture, and I am eager to leverage my expertise to contribute to organizational success in a senior HR or business development role.

Currently, I oversee HR operations at SM Garments & SM Apparel, where I manage payroll, recruitment, and policy compliance while supporting business development activities. My previous experience as a Dispatch Coordinator at Fresh Bite Paprika Catering Services allowed me to lead a team of 45 employees, optimizing logistics for timely dispatch and improving operational efficiency. I have also held roles in front office management and marketing, where I managed customer relationships and supported business development initiatives.
