What I'm looking for

Seeking a role that leverages my skills in finance, venture capital, and process optimization to drive strategic growth. I am particularly interested in opportunities within FinTech and venture capital, where I can apply my technical skills and industry knowledge to contribute to innovative solutions and business development.

As a driven business professional with a strong academic foundation from the Ivey Business School, I bring a unique blend of financial acumen, venture capital insights, and process optimization expertise. My leadership experience as the HBAA Vice President of Student Events has equipped me with the skills to manage large budgets and teams, driving significant improvements in event profitability and engagement.

My professional journey includes internships at Paidiem and SECURE Energy Services Inc., where I developed and implemented solutions that enhanced operational efficiency and revenue growth. I successfully created revenue reporting tools, streamlined operations, and conducted financial analyses that informed strategic business decisions.

Currently, I am actively involved in venture scouting and business development, sourcing deals and conducting due diligence in FinTech, AI, and other industries. My passion for entrepreneurship and innovation is complemented by my technical skills in AI, no-code applications, and financial modeling, making me a versatile candidate for dynamic business environments.
