I’m a multi-passionate Business Intelligence & Pricing Manager who enjoys a fast-paced environment where no two days look the same. I’m at my best when I'm wearing different hats and jumping between different worlds - whether that's diving deep into data pricing, finding the smartest logistics routing paths, or welcoming new clients through customer onboarding. I truly enjoy bridging the gap between numbers and people. One morning I would be building a dashboard, and that afternoon I would be collaborating with teams to make sure a new client has everything they need. Ultimately, I love solving puzzles, keeping things moving smoothly, and helping businesses run better!
