My professional experience spans roles in esteemed organizations. At Imperial Oil Limited, I managed pension plans totaling $240 million in assets. This involved budgeting, funding, and forecasting, ensuring seamless invoice processing and trading activities. I also conducted in-depth evaluations of key investments, analyzed their performance, and monitored market trends. Additionally, I led the preparation of financial statements, demonstrating proficiency in Excel for reconciliations and variance models. My role extended to managing cash flow, overseeing accounts receivable and payable functions. Notably, I suggested and implemented a cost-saving initiative, resulting in substantial annual savings.

My tenure at Husky Energy further honed my technical capabilities in Excel, where I navigated a $160 million budget across ten distinct cost centers. I delivered comprehensive quarterly financial reports, utilizing interactive dashboards created with Power BI. I also leveraged SQL and SAP for data queries and utilized Oracle Cloud for managing payroll activities, benefits planning, and tracking accounts payable.

In addition, I have a background in data analysis and management from your time at Geomatics Data Management, where I led summer students in data entry tasks and organized historical documents. I was also involved in collaborative projects with government entities.

My proactive approach, attention to detail, and proficiency in various technical tools position me as a capable and dedicated Finance Analyst. My accomplishments reflect a commitment to precision, integrity, and effective communication in collaborative environments. My certifications in financial analysis/valuation, Bloomberg, and my involvement in the Western Recreational Adult Hockey League Championship demonstrate my dedication to both professional development and extracurricular pursuits.
