About

I’m a results-driven and people-focused professional with a background in Accounting, Human Resources, and Retail Sales, currently pursuing a Master of Management at Macquarie University, Sydney. With over 3 years of experience across financial accounting and HR operations in India, and current exposure to customer engagement at H&M Australia, I bring a versatile blend of analytical and interpersonal skills to the table. I’ve successfully managed end-to-end recruitment, statutory compliance, payroll, and financial reporting while also leading initiatives in employee development and organisational culture. My passion lies in solving business problems, optimising processes, and driving strategic outcomes—whether through data-driven financial insights or people-centred HR solutions. I'm now focused on transitioning into roles such as Business Analyst, FP&A Analyst, HR Analyst, or Corporate Strategy Associate, where I can merge my strengths in numbers, people, and management to deliver value to dynamic organisations. I’m always open to connecting with like-minded professionals or organisations seeking driven, adaptable, and globally-oriented talent in the areas of business, finance, or HR.
