What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth, collaboration, and innovation in data-driven environments.

I am a data-driven B2B process engineer and data analyst with extensive experience in designing and implementing operational programs at Amazon Business Operations. My analytical skills, combined with proficiency in Excel, SQL, and Python, enable me to derive insights that guide decision-making processes effectively. I pride myself on being a fast learner with a concise communication style, ensuring that complex data is presented clearly to stakeholders.

Throughout my career, I have successfully coordinated cross-functional teams to automate processes and enhance operational efficiency. At Amazon, I assist in marketing campaigns and quality assurance programs, leveraging strong statistical tools to propose innovative solutions. My previous roles, including General Manager at ValuShred Canada and Executive Director at ASEGIRE, have honed my leadership abilities and my capacity to drive significant growth and sustainability in various sectors.
