Bridging Technology,
Leadership & Innovation

Based in Edmonton, AB, I'm a Technical Support Specialist and Team Leader who thrives at the intersection of technology and people. My career spans the solar energy, smart home security, and hospitality industries — giving me a uniquely broad perspective on operations, service delivery, and team performance.

At Orizon Energy, I manage technical operations across two divisions — supporting SolarEdge, Solis, and Enphase solar installations, and delivering home security support through Orizon Home using Alarm.com, Alula, and AJAX platforms. Before that, I spent nearly three years leading a technical support team at Fluent Home Security, working with Alarm.com and Alarmnet360 and developing a data-driven approach to team coaching and performance improvement.

What sets me apart is my commitment to staying ahead of the curve. I actively integrate AI tools into my workflows to work smarter, move faster, and solve problems more effectively — and I'm passionate about helping teams do the same.
