What I'm looking for

I seek HR leadership roles where I can drive strategic talent programs, improve retention, ensure compliance, and mentor teams in an inclusive, growth-focused culture.

I am a Human Resources leader with proven experience driving strategic HR initiatives across Southeast Asia, combining recruitment, employee relations, compliance, and organizational development.

At MADEVIRAL PTE. LTD I spearhead regional HR programs, lead talent management and succession planning, and ensure compliance with labor laws while mentoring a regional HR team.

Previously I led HR and recruitment at Niv Della Beauty Innovations Inc, improving retention, managing full-cycle hiring, and maintaining HRIS and statutory compliance including SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG.

My background as an international flight attendant gave me strong communication, adaptability, and cross-cultural collaboration skills which I apply to build inclusive, high-performing workplace cultures.
