Client services and operations leader with 10+ years in financial services, compliance, and team leadership. Proven experience at Edward Jones, CIBC, Advocis, and Capital One managing branch operations, trade execution, and client account servicing.
Strong track record in supervising staff, maintaining regulatory compliance (KYC/AML), and improving service performance and metrics. Skilled in Tableau, Outlook, VBA scripting, SharePoint, Asana, Zoom Analytics, CRM systems, and internal financial platforms.
Currently pursuing graduate studies in business administration and management. Based in Toronto.
My background includes volunteering at the Toronto Humane Society, pitching in with neighborhood rescues, and fostering cats, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and special needs. When your pet stays with me, or I pop by your place, you can expect a safe, cozy setup, plenty of playtime, outdoor adventures, and meals and meds served right on schedule. I keep you in the loop with photos and notes. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, always.
