About

I am an experienced Implementation Consultant and Financial Services Professional. I began my career in the banking industry, holding various roles in which I onboarded new customers and conducted ID and AML checks, while earning my NZ Certificate in Financial Services (Level 5)(Version 2), specialising in Residential Property Lending. I then transitioned into a more technical role at MOBI, where I currently work as a Senior Implementation Consultant. Alongside this, I have completed my New Zealand Certificate in Project Management (Level 4), strengthening my ability to deliver projects efficiently and effectively. Over the past several years, I have built strong experience in enterprise software implementations. I have led end-to-end projects for enterprise customers across New Zealand, Australia, and North America, focusing on process improvement, problem solving, and ensuring smooth outcomes for both clients and internal teams. My background combines a solid foundation in financial services with technical expertise in project delivery and implementation.
