M.S. Levy Economics Institute | uOttawa Alumni
Data-driven professional committed to increase efficiency by setting up innovative processes that leads to a team’s success, identifying blind spots and finding simplified solutions to unforeseen problems. I am firm believer in the transformative power of creativity and storytelling as a way to propel teams to success.

At the University of Ottawa, I learnt from experienced professionals about issues in Political Science, Sociology, and Statistics. I polished my presentation and public speaking skills by being part of clubs such as the Model United Nations, and attended the House of Commons at the Canadian Parliament to deliver a speech on policy-making. Taking courses in business management and financial accounting helped me sharpen my skills in financial modeling. Besides that, as part of the editing team of the Undergraduate Journal of Politics, Policy and Society (UJPPS), I had the privilege to serve as an editor for an outstanding academic journal.

I work best in creative spaces that foster innovation. For instance, at the Levy Economics Institute, we build strong cross-functional project squads and learn quickly by empirically testing research ideas. At this think tank, I had the fantastic opportunity to work with professionals analyzing trends in poverty and inequality, which taught me how to connect data analysis insights with real-life applications. Several of the projects we worked on required a lot of accuracy in its execution and to acquire a great level of attention to detail.  I honed my skills in data visualization and interpreting models in a critical way. These skills are highly transferable to fields such as finance, business management, technology, among others. 

I have worked with SMEs in the arrangements for expansion plans, including the process of incorporating a company in foreign jurisdictions, from crafting shareholder agreements to implementing the most tax efficient structure. Besides that, I was able to provide to my clients a reduction of ~3% in the cost of raw material by auditing supplier agreements. Furthermore, I Implemented and streamlined data management procedures, improving operational efficiency by 8%.

My five-year plan includes gaining expertise in valuation of assets and sourcing of investment opportunities. I also write several articles on matters related to finance, technology, and innovation, which you can find in the link in my profile.
