What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can combine organised operations and HR support with content, communication and storytelling work.

My experience has taken me across teaching and research at VIT, operations and HR at a growing brand, event management, and community education.

At Studio Palasa, I handled everything from inventory, logistics and Shopify orders to HR, website updates and brand content. At VIT, I taught English, worked with students on academic writing and research, and helped organise conferences. I’ve also taught English to children from underprivileged backgrounds and managed large student events.

What I bring is a mix of strong communication, organisation, writing, research, people skills, and the ability to learn and adapt quickly. I’m comfortable taking a task from “this needs to be done” to actually getting it done.
