My interest in Human Resources was sparked during my time in the BPO sector. I realized the critical role HR plays in shaping an organization's culture, driving employee engagement, and contributing to overall business success. The opportunity to make a positive impact on people's lives and careers is what truly drew me to this field.

The hospitality industry is a dynamic and ever-evolving field that offers countless opportunities for personal and professional growth. I’m excited about the chance to learn new skills, work with diverse teams, and develop my career within such a vibrant industry.

The hospitality industry is constantly evolving, and it's essential to stay updated on the latest trends and best practices. I've learned the importance of continuous learning. By embracing change and seeking new knowledge, we can stay ahead of the curve.

One of the most valuable pieces of advice I've received from my leader is to strike a balance between heart and mind. It's crucial to approach challenges with both empathy and strategic thinking. Balancing both allows you to navigate challenges with a calm and rational approach, while also maintaining a positive and optimistic outlook. A mentor once told me that empathy is the cornerstone of effective leadership. By truly understanding the needs and perspectives of others, I can create a more compassionate and supportive work environment.

While I may seem reserved, I’m deeply empathetic and attuned to the emotions of others.

My family is the cornerstone of my life. Their love and support are essential to my happiness and well-being. 

One of my favorite hobbies is watching a good series. A good series transports me to different times and places, evoke strong emotions, and sparks my imagination. It's a wonderful way to escape reality for a while and recharge.

Sign language. I'm fascinated by the intricate hand movements and facial expressions that convey meaning.

I'd definitely choose teleportation. Imagine the possibilities. No more traffic jams, no more long flights, and best of all, instant access to all-you-can-eat buffets around the world. Poof! I'm in Tokyo, then Rome, and back home for dinner. It'd be the ultimate life hack!

Outside of work, I'm dedicated to furthering my education by pursuing a degree in Human Resource Management. I'm excited about the opportunity to deepen my knowledge and skills in this field, allowing me to contribute even more effectively to our team.

My hero is undoubtedly my mother. She is the epitome of a virtuous woman, always radiating kindness, strength, and unwavering love. Her dedication to her family has been an inspiration to me. My mother is truly the heart of our family, and I am eternally grateful for her love and guidance.
