Since 2009 inside complex workplaces.
Counselling psychology training. One integrated perspective.
I did not begin my career as a counsellor. I began as an engineer. At 21, while working with Tata Motors, I was given the opportunity to lead a team. Some of the most difficult challenges I encountered were not engineering problems. They were human ones — leadership, recognition, expectations, motivation, relationships and finding your place in a workplace.
Since 2009, my professional journey has taken me through engineering, HR business partnering, people operations, senior HR management, talent management and organizational development across multinational organizations and a major British Columbia Crown corporation.
My work has included career development, performance management, talent and succession, organizational development, job architecture and levelling, employee engagement, leadership development and coaching. I have led teams and functions, worked with workforces numbering in the thousands, and partnered with people from early-career employees through senior leaders and C-suite executives.
That experience is context — not a substitute for listening to the person in front of me. Counselling is not HR consulting. We begin with you.
My career has also been shaped by multinational organizations and organizational cultures influenced by Asia, Europe and North America. I remain curious about how culture, immigration, identity, family expectations, communication styles, hierarchy and belonging shape each person's experience.
