What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for growth and challenges in global mobility.

I am a dedicated Senior Global Mobility Advisor with a strong background in managing the end-to-end global assignment lifecycle for international assignees. My journey began at KPMG LLP, where I was promoted from Global Mobility Assistant due to my excellent performance. In my current role, I coordinate tax, immigration, social security, and payroll compliance across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring seamless assignment delivery for our clients.

Throughout my career, I have built and maintained strong relationships with business stakeholders and overseas colleagues, providing comprehensive briefings and practical guidance. My analytical skills allow me to identify issues and deliver pragmatic solutions under tight deadlines. I am passionate about mentoring junior team members, fostering their development while ensuring high-quality output. I thrive in dynamic environments and take full accountability for client satisfaction and service delivery.
