I graduated from the Lyceum of the Philippines University with a degree in Foreign Service, Major in Diplomacy, in 2018. Since 2017, I have worked on various political campaigns, the Senate of the Philippines (Internship), the House of Representatives (Political Research Consultant), and various government relations consultancy firms in Southeast Asia.
I have gained the necessary experience from writing reports in upper and lower house committee hearings (Philippine Congress), providing political briefers and political analysis to lawmakers and think-tank firms, and writing informative articles for clients.
As for my passion project, I am the co-founder and scriptwriter of the PH Murder Stories podcast, a true crime podcast narrated in English that focuses on local cases. Our show has been consistently on Spotify’s “Top Podcasts” chart in the Philippines (since 2021) and has been featured by numerous local news outlets.

Hi, I'm Lei — a Global HR and People Operations professional with 13 years of end-to-end and strategic HR experience across BPO, aviation, technology, building & construction, and manufacturing industries. I have supported organisations across the Philippines, Australia, Singapore, and the United States — both as a hands-on HR partner and a strategic advisor who connects people, process, and structure to real business outcomes.
I work with startups, SMEs, and global teams who need more than just HR admin — they need someone who can build, strengthen, and scale their people and operational foundations from the ground up.
🌏 WHAT I HELP BUSINESSES WITH:
Strategic HR & Global People Operations - Design and implement HR strategies that actually support how your business grows — workforce planning, org design, competency frameworks, performance systems, and multi-country HR alignment across PH, AU, US, and SG.
HR Policies, Handbooks & Compliance Documentation - Create clear, compliant, and practical HR policies, SOPs, Employee Handbooks, and workflows — localised to your country's labour standards so your team and your business are protected.
SOPs, Playbooks & Business Process Development - Not just HR, I build business-wide operational playbooks, process maps, and systemised workflows for operations, admin, finance, customer service, and cross-functional teams. Ideal for businesses scaling, onboarding new leaders, or preparing for expansion.
HR Systems Setup & Optimisation - Experienced in implementing and optimising Zoho People, Employment Hero, and other HRIS platforms, including leave systems, onboarding modules, attendance, and employee records — so your team spends less time on manual work and more time on what matters.
Philippines HR Setup & Compliance - Full end-to-end HR establishment for Philippine entities — recruitment, onboarding, 201 files, labour compliance, payroll coordination, timekeeping, and employee relations. Trusted by foreign companies entering or expanding in the Philippines.
🤝 WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE TO WORK WITH ME:
✔ 13 years of real-world HR experience across 4 countries — not just theory
✔ I understand Australian workplace culture, Fair Work principles, and what AU businesses expect
✔ I work across time zones to ensure real availability for AU, SG, and US clients
✔ I treat your business with the same care and confidentiality as an in-house HR leader
✔ I don't just deliver documents — I deliver systems that your team can actually use and sustain.

With 5 years of QA experience and 2 years on the front lines as a CSR, I bring a rare mix to the table, I know what good service looks like because I've delivered it, and I know how to catch what's broken because I've audited it.
On the QA side, I've handled quality audits across three very different industries: content moderation, financial accounts, and e-commerce. Each one comes with its own risks and compliance standards, and I've learned to adapt quickly, flagging policy violations in moderation queues, checking accuracy and compliance on financial transactions, and reviewing order/refund/shipping issues in e-commerce support. I know how to build and use scorecards, spot recurring agent errors before they become bigger problems, and give feedback that actually helps agents improve instead of just ticking a compliance box.
Before moving into QA, I spent 2 years as a CSR handling chat, email, and phone support. That experience matters. It means I'm not auditing from the outside looking in. I understand the pressure of live queues, the balance between speed and accuracy, and what agents actually need to hear to get better, not just what looks good on a report.
