Strategic and collaborative Business Systems Analyst with 6+ years of experience delivering process improvements and technical solutions across diverse industries. Skilled in translating business requirements into scalable, AI-enhanced systems—particularly within Salesforce and Microsoft environments.
Recently focused on integrating generative AI and automation to streamline workflows, optimize data strategy, and drive operational efficiency. Experienced with tools like Microsoft Power Platform, Copilot Studio, and AI Builder, I’ve helped teams unlock productivity and amplify ROI through smart automation and predictive insights.

Creative and reliable, I thrive in collaborative spaces where innovation meets structure—and where emerging technologies can be harnessed to move businesses forward.
