I’m the person who has to try the newest snack, skincare launch, or better-for-you drink the moment it hits the shelf, but what really pulls me in is the story behind it: the founder who spotted a gap, the choices that made the brand click, the reason it earns a place in people’s lives. Getting to turn that curiosity into my actual job, and work alongside the founders building these brands, is incredibly exciting.
Before joining Stride, I was in an Investment Banking analyst at Evercore, where I advised companies across food & beverage and CPG on M&A and strategic transactions. I’m originally from Vancouver and earned my undergraduate degree from the Ivey Business School at Western University. Outside of work, I’m usually running along the harbor, learning to surf, baking my way through cinnamon buns, or chasing down the best matcha in town.
