I’m a People and Culture Consultant, Writer and Advisor with fifteen years of experience in startups, scale-ups and BPOs. I help people and organizations build healthier and more human ways of working, with a focus on culture, leadership and professional growth.

My background in a BA in Sociology of Work with specialization in Personnel Planning and a Postgraduate Program in Adult Mental Health helps me understand how people relate, decide and navigate challenges at work. My support is organizational, reflective and non clinical, and I maintain clear boundaries with therapeutic domains.

Through Workplace Wellbeing Lab, I support career transitions, guide HR professionals and help organisations strengthen wellbeing, leadership and culture. I recently completed two pilots, Career Journey (outplacement) and HR Reset, which helped refine and deepen the way I support individuals and HR peers. My approach is calm, practical and reflective, centered on clarity, alignment and grounded decision-making.
