About · Vancouver, BC

An engineering foundation, applied to data.

I turn data, research, and stakeholder input into reporting people can act on — and I check the numbers before anyone has to trust them.

I am a data analyst based in Vancouver, British Columbia. I began in environmental engineering, where data is tied to physical systems and real consequences. That background led me toward analysis: finding patterns, checking whether results make sense, and turning technical information into reporting people can use.

My current work is built around Power BI reporting, SQL and Excel data preparation, validation and quality checks, and exploratory analysis that surfaces trends, patterns, and anomalies. I have supported data governance and information management work, including handling sensitive data (PII) with the care that requires.

I work well with both technical and business teams — translating between them is most of the job. I care about careful reporting, honest investigation of odd results, and clear communication of what the evidence does and does not support.
