Every new chapter brings reflection – and for me, that often means thinking back to when this journey began eight years ago. What I remember most about those early days isn’t a specific project or task. It was a feeling. A quiet kind of confidence that came from being trusted – from being part of a culture that genuinely believed in people.

From the beginning, it was clear that this place wasn’t built just on processes. It was built on understanding people – their motivations, their challenges, and their potential. That realization shaped everything for me. It pushed me to see Human Potential not as administration or HR, but as strategy, culture, and empowerment.

Over the years, I’ve come to believe that real growth – personal or professional – starts with communication. With empathy. With emotional intelligence. One of the things I’m most proud of is reshaping the way we support our teams from within. Helping developers feel seen, supported, and encouraged to be creative and engaged. When people feel safe to take risks and be themselves, everything changes – not just for them, but for the work we do together.

Working in tech has taught me to make peace with change. It’s fast, unpredictable, and sometimes overwhelming. But it also forces us to stay open, grounded, and adaptable. What keeps me steady is knowing that the people come first. They are the constant – the reason, the fuel, and the outcome.

I’ve been lucky to work alongside people who are open, curious, and always ready to collaborate. That spirit makes the team strong, and it inspires me to keep showing up with energy and purpose. My “why” is simple – to help people unlock parts of themselves they didn’t know were there. To support them as they do things they once thought impossible.

Eight years in, and I still feel like I’m learning. Still building. Still evolving -with the company, with my team, side by side.

Then, I supported others by learning what they needed.
Now, I support them by shaping the space where they can grow – and I’m still learning, every day.
