What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in data analysis.

I am an Actuarial Associate with a strong background in post-retirement health benefit valuation and group retirement plan pricing. My experience includes preparing comprehensive actuarial valuation reports and developing sophisticated Excel models to enhance financial decision-making. I have a proven track record of identifying process inefficiencies and implementing VBA macros to streamline operations, which has significantly improved productivity in my previous roles.

Throughout my career, I have worked with leading companies such as Dixon Actuarial Services and Canada Life Assurance Company, where I honed my skills in data analysis, financial modeling, and compliance auditing. My analytical abilities have allowed me to present strategic insights to global actuarial teams, influencing key business decisions. I am committed to continuous learning and have recently completed a Machine Learning Specialization to further enhance my technical expertise.
