Izaba Paras
Human Resources Manager
What do you enjoy most about your position?
What I find most fulfilling is the opportunity to establish meaningful connections with individuals across the organization. It’s about creating an enhanced experience for them, one that is intricately woven into the fabric of our broader organizational objectives.
My role allows me to level the playing field, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background or position, has an equal opportunity to thrive. It’s about fostering an environment where everyone can earn, learn, and grow. This not only contributes to individual success but also propels our collective progress towards achieving our shared goals.
In essence, it’s the blend of personal interaction, strategic alignment, and the promotion of inclusivity and growth that I find most rewarding. It’s a role that requires both empathy and strategy, and I find immense satisfaction in striking that balance.
What do you like to do when you aren’t working?
When I’m not at work, you’ll find me at the gym. As a competitive powerlifter, I love a good workout—it clears my mind and keeps me energized. Plus, there’s nothing like the feeling of hitting a new personal best!
I’m also a bit of a foodie. I enjoy exploring new local food spots and trying out different cuisines. It’s always a fun adventure to discover a new favorite dish.
But above all, I cherish spending time with my family. Whether we’re just hanging out at home or going on a day trip somewhere, those moments are really special to me. It’s my favorite way to unwind and recharge after a busy week.
What motivates you to do the best at your job?
What truly motivates me in my work is the legacy of hard work and sacrifice that my parents instilled in me. They gave so much of themselves to provide me with opportunities they never had. Their dedication and perseverance have been a constant source of inspiration for me.
Now, as a parent myself, I understand their sacrifices on a deeper level. It has ignited a fire within me, a burning desire to create a better life for my children, just as my parents did for me. This motivation extends to my professional life as well, driving me to excel in my role and make a positive impact.
It’s this cycle of hard work, sacrifice, and love that fuels my motivation. It’s about honoring the past, thriving in the present, and building a better future—for myself, for my children, and for everyone I work with.
