About Me

I’m a data-driven educator and administrator making a deliberate shift from higher education into corporate and industry roles—bringing with me a strong foundation in training, process optimization, and practical problem-solving.

As Associate Chair at Perimeter College, I’ve led faculty evaluations, course scheduling, and student outreach efforts while teaching statistics and building internal systems that improve efficiency. I’ve developed Excel-based tools to track overloads, manage contact and role databases, and streamline academic planning. I’ve also delivered corporate training programs focused on Excel, PowerPoint, and AI-enhanced workflows.

I enjoy building solutions that save people time, reduce manual effort, and produce clearer insights—whether in education or beyond. My next step is to bring this blend of technical skills, leadership, and creativity to an industry role where impact, collaboration, and innovation are at the forefront.

Enrollment Mismatch

Support Courses Rosters Tool

This Python-based tool identifies enrollment mismatches between main and support math course CRNs (e.g., MATH 1001 + MATH 0997), helping departments correct scheduling issues and ensure co-requisite compliance. Exports a clean Excel report for documentation.
