AI Strategist & Co-Founder @ SGSI | Marathon Runner | Equestrian Enthusiast

Building AI solutions by day, conquering trails by weekend. I bring the same strategic thinking to closing deals as I do to finishing marathons—it's all about pacing, perseverance, and knowing when to sprint.

About Me

I co-founded SGSI because I believe AI should actually solve real problems, not just sound impressive in pitch decks. With 5+ years turning complex data into business wins, I've helped organizations go from "AI-curious" to "AI-profitable"—delivering solutions that have doubled client performance metrics and closed deals worth half a million dollars.

Currently wrapping up my Master's in Analytics at Ivey Business School (yes, with a scholarship), I nerd out over machine learning models and strategic growth. But here's the plot twist: I also run marathons, spend weekends horseback riding, and dominate badminton courts. Because who says you can't optimize both algorithms and your personal best?

I've served as a Condo Board President (harder than any boardroom negotiation), advocated for Indigenous rights, and basically learned that leadership is leadership—whether you're pitching to C-suite executives or organizing community events. Life's too short for boring bios, so let's just say I'm here to build cool stuff, run long distances, and occasionally make people laugh.

When I'm Not Building AI Solutions...

🏃‍♀️

Marathon Running

Because nothing says "I make good life decisions" like voluntarily running 42 kilometers. My PR keeps improving, unlike my ability to explain why I do this to non-runners.

🏇

Equestrian

Horseback riding: where I practice patience, balance, and the art of looking graceful while secretly holding on for dear life. Also, horses don't care about your KPIs, which is refreshing.

🏸

Badminton

My smash game is almost as strong as my sales pitch. Fast-paced, strategic, and surprisingly competitive—basically business consulting but with a shuttlecock.

⛰️

Hiking

Vancouver's trails are my therapy sessions. Nothing clears your head like a steep incline and the looming threat of bears. Plus, the views beat any conference room.
