About Me

Analyst. Manager.
AI practitioner.

I started my career building Excel dashboards for loan officers and never stopped looking for a better way to surface the right number to the right person at the right time.

Today I manage cross-functional analytics teams, own executive reporting frameworks end-to-end, and actively integrate AI tools — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini — into daily workflows to cut manual effort and sharpen decision-making.

I've worked in mortgage banking, credit unions, and online vehicle auctions. The industry changes; the mission doesn't: make data useful.
