I am an explorer, sustainability advocate, lover of numbers, and working to be the best I can be daily.

My research is on the impact of government energy projects for indigenous communities. I\'m currently in charge of sustainability data - carbon, water, waste - for Honda North America and overseeing the modernization and transformation of sustainability data and collection. In my last corporate role as an Impact Investments Manager, I helped Microsoft meet its sustainability commitments from the finance side of the house. I am passionate about protecting the environment and served in leadership for Microsoft\'s employee sustainability community even when sustainability was not in my formal title.I previously at I oversaw the data systems, reporting, and new BI programs for the Search, Advertising, News, and Edge business. I started my career as an Analyst in Microsoft\'s Finance Rotational Program where I had a wide variety of experiences from process automation, data analytics, full stack BI development, FP & A, and Controllership. I graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a double bachelor’s degree in Mathematical Economics and International Studies with an emphasis in French and minor in Applied Mathematics.
