What I'm looking for

I'm looking to bring an operations-first mindset to cross-functional initiatives, process improvement, and exceptional live event experiences.

I'm an Operations Enablement Specialist and Business Analyst with 5+ years of experience helping organizations improve processes, deliver digital transformation initiatives, and solve complex business challenges. Throughout my career at Aviva Insurance, I've progressed from underwriting into business analysis and operations enablement, where I've led workflow redesigns, gathered business requirements, coordinated system enhancements, and partnered with cross-functional teams to deliver meaningful operational improvements.

I enjoy turning business problems into practical solutions by combining analytical thinking with strong stakeholder collaboration. My experience includes process mapping (AS-IS/TO-BE), requirements gathering, project coordination, change management, UAT, data analysis, and supporting the delivery of technology solutions. I've worked closely with business leaders, technology vendors, and frontline teams to improve workflows, implement new capabilities, and drive successful adoption.

I'm passionate about building better products and better ways of working. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can help prioritize customer and business needs, streamline operations, and deliver measurable results. I'm currently seeking a remote Product Owner, Product Operations, Business Analyst, or Operations Enablement role where I can continue solving problems, leading cross-functional initiatives, and creating value through technology and process improvement.
