At Speyside Group, I prepare financial reporting and analysis for multiple international entities, supporting bookkeeping, reconciliations, audit preparation, compliance, and management reporting.

Previously at the University of Waterloo’s School of Accounting & Finance, I managed financial administration and budget monitoring for operating, trust, and endowment budgets exceeding $35M. I delivered customized reports, forecasts, and key-metrics analysis for 20+ program directors while improving workflows, controls, and administrative systems.

Across research operations, I supported 340+ research accounts, 30 industry and government grants, and cross-functional stakeholders including faculty, industry, and government administrators.
