What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am an innovative and results-driven aspiring product manager with a strong background in Finance and Technology. My passion lies in leveraging Agile methodology, data-driven insights, and cutting-edge technology to create impactful user-centric solutions. I have honed my analytical skills in Python, SQL, VBA, Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and Figma, allowing me to uncover insights that drive informed decision-making and develop scalable solutions.

In my current role as a Program Manager at Microsoft, I led a cross-functional initiative that increased Copilot daily active usage by 25%. I developed and launched a learning accountability tool that bridged gaps in progress tracking, driving higher adoption and user satisfaction. My experience at CIBC Mellon further solidified my skills in automation and operational efficiency, where I implemented Excel VBA to streamline processes, improving efficiency by 40% and reducing manual errors by 35%.
