What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my data analytics skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on process optimization and impactful decision-making.

I am a Senior Data Analytics Consultant with a strong background in designing and implementing data solutions that enhance operational efficiency. My experience at CIBC has allowed me to partner with non-technical stakeholders to solve complex business problems through analytic solutions. I take pride in delivering insights and recommendations that drive informed decision-making across various levels of the organization.

Throughout my career, I have led significant process improvement initiatives, managing substantial project financials and automating workflows to save hundreds of hours annually. My commitment to fostering a culture of continuous improvement is evident in my founding of the Analytics Development Forum, where I mentor colleagues on best practices in data analysis and process optimization. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in SQL, Python, and data visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau to create impactful solutions.
