I am passionate about transforming HR data into actionable business intelligence, delivering insights that support senior leadership in making informed decisions.

In my current role as a Senior Analyst at the Ontario Cannabis Store, I have successfully delivered HR dashboards and quarterly trend reports that guide strategic decisions and workforce planning. My previous experiences include leading data quality initiatives at Kingston Health Sciences Centre and directing the standardization of HR data practices at Sysco Canada Inc.
