I am a finance and operations professional with deep expertise in private market valuations, venture capital, and ASC 820 compliance. Over the past several years at Carta, I progressed through multiple leadership roles from Senior Valuation Associate to Strategic Manager, where I led large-scale operational improvements, valuation engagements, and audit readiness initiatives. My work included conducting and reviewing hundreds of valuations for high-growth startups and venture capital firms, enhancing compliance workflows, and partnering with cross-functional teams to develop scalable internal systems and tools.

Throughout my career, I have focused on building efficiency, improving report accuracy, and mentoring teams in high-growth, data-driven environments. I have also driven product and process innovations that strengthened client platforms, improved delivery timelines, and supported strategic service expansions. With a background in financial analysis and a strong command of financial modeling, compliance, and cross-functional collaboration, I bring a unique mix of technical expertise and operational leadership.

I hold a Master of Science in Financial Analysis from the University of San Francisco and a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance from Concordia University.
