Summary

I’m an analyst with a strong background in capital planning and data analysis, where I’ve supported over $1.2 billion in projects for clients including TD Bank and Amazon. Excel is my go-to tool for cleaning, transforming, and analyzing data, and I’ve also built dashboards and visualizations through SQL and Tableau projects. I enjoy turning numbers into stories that help teams make smarter decisions. Colleagues know me as someone who works well across finance, engineering, and operations to deliver results.
