Hi, I’m Lalita. I’ve called New Zealand home for the past eight years.

I arrived with no English but big dreams, starting out washing dishes, cleaning, and picking fruit while learning the language and culture along the way. It wasn’t easy, but I was determined.

That drive led me through a strong hospitality career, from Front of House to Duty Manager, café operations, and large-scale events, always in fast-paced, people-focused environments.

Now, as a Candidate Resourcer, I bring that same energy and understanding, connecting with people, hearing their stories, and helping them find where they truly belong.
