I translate complex data into clear decisions. With a science background, hands-on business analysis experience, and the discipline of a national-level athlete, I bring structure and rigour to every problem I work on.

Analytical by training.
Precise by habit.

I graduated from UBC with a BSc in Biology — a degree that at its core is about observation, measurement, and drawing defensible conclusions from data. That same instinct drives how I approach business problems.

Since graduating, I've been doing business analysis for small and medium-sized businesses, working with internal databases, web analytics platforms, and reporting tools to help clients understand what their data is actually saying — and what to do about it.

I'm based in Vancouver and looking to bring this mix of analytical rigour and operational thinking into a high-standards environment where the problems are complex and the work matters.

01
Scientific Method
A Biology degree teaches you to form hypotheses, test them against evidence, and be honest when the data contradicts your assumptions. That's the foundation of good analysis.
02
Business Context
Analysis only has value when it connects to a decision. I work to understand the business problem first, then build the analysis around what would actually change someone's course of action.
03
Clear Communication
A hundred-row spreadsheet is not a deliverable. I focus on translating findings into concise, structured recommendations that non-technical stakeholders can act on.

show my approach.

Arts & Culture — Small Business Analysis

Sales & Digital Traffic Analysis for an Arts Organization

A Vancouver-based arts organization was experiencing a sustained post-COVID decline in sales. Web traffic had remained stable, suggesting the problem wasn't discovery — it was conversion. I was brought in to understand the relationship between online visibility and in-person foot traffic, and to identify where the disconnect was happening.

MySQL Excel Google Analytics Google Search Console
Key Finding
Website impressions and visitors held steady post-COVID, but in-person visits — the primary driver of sales — continued to decline. The data showed a decoupling of online interest from physical engagement. SEO modifications were implemented to maintain first-page search visibility while the broader conversion challenge continues to be investigated.
Professional Services — SEO Analysis

Search Visibility & Organic Traffic Optimization

A professional services client had lost ground in organic search rankings following a period of site inactivity and increased local competition. The goal was to diagnose the drop, identify the highest-leverage opportunities, and implement changes that would restore first-page visibility for their core search terms.

Google Search Console Google Analytics Keyword Research Content Optimization
Key Finding
Keyword gap analysis revealed several high-intent, low-competition terms the site was not targeting. Combined with on-page content changes, metadata restructuring, and technical fixes, the project resulted in improved search rankings for the client's primary service terms. Organic traffic increased following implementation.

"The discipline that gets you to nationals is the same discipline that makes you a reliable analyst."

I began training in rhythmic gymnastics at Aura Gymnastics Club at age five. I competed at the national level — an experience that instilled a particular relationship with precision, preparation, and performing when it counts.

I now coach officially at the same club. Working with athletes at different skill levels and temperaments has sharpened how I communicate, plan, and stay composed when things don't go to plan. It's taught me that pressure is mostly a planning problem — and that the highest-stakes moments reward people who prepared properly, not people who improvised.

I carry that mindset into everything I work on.
