Passionate About
People & Care

I am an HR Specialist with 4+ years of hands-on experience across diverse industries in Nepal, and currently working as a Personal Care Assistant at Bolton Clarke in Melbourne, Australia — bringing the same people-first philosophy to aged and personal care.

My HR background spans end-to-end recruitment, payroll processing, employee onboarding, training & development, grievance handling, and compliance with labour laws. I believe organisations thrive when people feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Currently based in Melbourne, I am also pursuing a Master of Teaching at Ikon Institute of Australia (commenced February 2026), broadening my expertise in education, learning design, and human development.

I hold a published research paper, have represented companies at national career events, and bring a data-driven mindset with strong analytical and communication skills to every role.
