Welcome to my personal website!
I’m a dedicated marketing and information technology professional, and university lecturer based in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. With a strong passion for digital marketing, social media, e-commerce, business intelligence, and IT, I thrive at the intersection of marketing strategy and technology innovation — an area that continues to fuel my curiosity and research.
My academic journey includes a Bachelor of Science in Marketing, a Diploma in Computer Systems Technology, and a Graduate Diploma in Business Administration. In 2021, I completed my MBA at Thompson Rivers University with a 4.13 GPA. During my graduate studies, I explored how institutions use search engine marketing to build their brands in higher education through an empirical study in British Columbia. I also co-authored a paper on global pandemic uncertainties and risk management strategies, presented at the Academy of International Business conference.
Currently, I serve as Enterprise Systems Supervisor at Thompson Rivers University, leading a talented team of software analysts. We support critical enterprise applications, manage server infrastructure, and drive digital transformation across the institution. Alongside my administrative work, I teach marketing courses that bridge theory and real-world application — aiming to create dynamic learning environments that challenge and inspire students.
Outside of work, I like reading, music, and sports. I enjoy exploring the incredible landscapes of British Columbia and Alberta, which never fail to provide fresh perspective and inspiration.
