About me

Less is More

I pride myself in making the processes that I see as efficient as possible. In my time at Warner Music Group, that was mostly done by developing VBA macros to optimize processes within Excel. With my Tech Risk Internship at EY, I have continued my journey into the tech and IT audit space.
