About Me

Professionally speaking, I’ve always thrived at the intersection between technology and people. I’ve been able to find the most success when I am able to dig in to the details surrounding the operations and technology of an organization and mobilize that knowledge into problem solving and enacting strategy. I have a broad background working in high-growth SaaS start-ups, biotechnology, non-profits, telecommunications, and even in a synthetic biology lab. I also completed my MBA in the Management of Technology in 2018.

Personally speaking, I grew up in Vineland, Ontario helping my parents on the farm (I bet you can guess what we grew!). I currently live in Vancouver, British Columbia where I’ve lived for the past 4 years. In my free time, I like to ski/snowboard, do yoga, get out hiking, take on ambitious cooking projects, or most recently work on my in-home microgreen farm or learn to skateboard.

Resume

High-energy, adaptive technology professional with 10 years of diverse professional experience and an MBA who is committed to excellence and delivering results.

I bring a unique combination of experience with project management and operations experience allowing strategic problem solving of complex problems.
