Hey there! I’m Kristy, and I’m all about helping startups get their People & Culture operations running like a well-oiled machine—so you can focus on growing your business.
With Employment Hero expertise and a knack for building seamless HR and operational processes, I love creating structure out of chaos. Need to refine your systems, set up smooth workflows, or just make sense of all the moving parts? I’ve got you!
I bring 10+ years of experience as a People & Culture specialist and Virtual Assistant, working with businesses across IT, Mining, Health, Construction, and Property. I also hold a Diploma of Business Management with a major in HR, so I know my stuff when it comes to keeping teams happy, productive, and engaged.
Oh, and CRMs or HRIS? Obsessed. Whether it’s Employment Hero, Tradify, SimPRO, MailChimp, or Nutriem, I can whip your systems into shape.
If you need a People & Culture guru who can bring order, energy, and a bit of fun to your startup, let’s chat! 🚀
Note: only suited to project based work.
