Complexity to Simplicity— It's not just what I do, It's my purpose in life.
Yesterday, my dear friend @Tracy Smith asked me an interesting question: What do you like that most people don’t? It got me thinking, and I realized one of my greatest strengths is my love for numbers—particularly working with Excel.
I thrive on taking raw data and transforming it into something meaningful and impactful for people. It’s not just about simplifying complexity; it’s about helping you create Wealth today so you can build a Legacy for Tomorrow.
Thanks, Mark Halpern, for the inspiration today—it reminded me why I do what I do.
Curious about how I can help you connect the dots? Let’s start a conversation.

I was honored to attend the Women’s Health at Work: Closing the gender gap event by @The Globe and Mail in partnership with Sun Life. The focus of the event was on the importance of women’s health in the workplace and the essential role that it plays in our society.
I am proud to see the women at Sun Life leading the movement on having an inclusive and safe workplace culture for women to not only feel comfortable and heard but to thrive in their career paths. Creating an inclusive work environment that supports women through different life stages, whether navigating, pregnancy, menopause, mental illness, or the pressure of caregiving sends a powerful message about valuing diversity and promoting overall well-being. Thank you @ Helena Pagano and Jessica Tan for your work in these initiatives and for setting a strong example in prioritizing women’s health at work. I am eager to see the continued positive changes that will undoubtedly result from your efforts. It was.

Yesterday, I was invited to attend a powerful Truth and Reconciliation event at the Catholic Community Services of York Region (CCSYR).
