“I’ve always been fascinated by what drives markets; why prices move and how disciplined, well‑informed decisions create long‑term financial strength.”
My introduction to the world of finance began early, shaped by my mother’s career as an accountant. Growing up around numbers, I developed an early appreciation for the tangible impact her work had on her clients’ lives. This foundational understanding drove me to pursue a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance from the University of Alberta, where I solidified my knowledge in investment analysis and market behavior. This year, my focus is on completing my Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.
I started my career in banking operations, a role that provided valuable insight into complex systems and institutional controls. The experience gave me a strong foundation in process, accuracy, and risk awareness; all principles that continue to shape my approach to work.
While these operational roots were critical, transitioning to the investment side allowed me to bridge my interest in technology with fundamental analysis. I thrive on identifying opportunities to streamline decision-making. In a previous role, I developed a custom dashboard to automate time-intensive tasks, an efficiency solution that was eventually adopted across the entire organization.
I’m driven by the prospect of looking at a problem and determining how to best use the resources you have available to find well-informed solutions. Trust is important in wealth management. You build that by helping clients translate complexity into clear insights that guide and aid their financial journey.
Beyond the Office
Much of my personal discipline is rooted in staying active. Working out is a non-negotiable part of my routine that provides both a stress reliever and a sharpened sense of focus.
I also enjoy travelling and experiencing new places, cultures, and perspectives. Having visited Japan last year, I can confidently say it is a place that I would revisit again. I found myself particularly inspired by their culinary traditions and the thoughtful ways they approach even a simple bowl of noodles.
