What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply business analysis, business intelligence, and data analytics skills to scalable technology solutions, process improvement, reporting, and data-driven decision-making.

I've led business intelligence and data transformation work for the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, including a centralized Microsoft Fabric Data Lakehouse integrating 8+ enterprise sources. I modernized reporting to reduce turnaround time by 75% and built five Power BI dashboards for KPI monitoring and leadership decision-making.

Previously, I improved investment processes at Quantum Growth Advisors, optimized API-based data pipelines, and reduced reporting errors by 25%. My experience also includes insurance sales analytics, A/B testing, research coordination, and translating complex data into actionable recommendations across financial services, investment, insurance, regulatory, and public-sector environments.
