What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and impactful projects.

I am a dedicated and driven individual with a passion for understanding the story behind the numbers. As an actuary, I know that data tells us stories, yet, it’s how we interpret and apply it that truly makes a difference. Currently, I'm pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Data Analytics at Langara College, where I have maintained a GPA of 3.86. I am eager to apply my knowledge and enthusiasm in a co-op role, where I can continue to grow and contribute to impactful projects.

My professional experience includes working as a Senior Underwriter for Major Medical Expenses at GNP, where I assessed and calculated pricing for major medical insurance plans, consistently exceeding daily quote targets by 10%. I have also led projects during my internship that focused on identifying opportunities within the insurance sector, gaining hands-on experience across multiple departments. I am particularly proud of developing a predictive machine learning model for weaning success in sepsis patients, showcasing my ability to leverage data for meaningful insights.
