For seven dedicated years, I've proudly served on SOA committees, fostering education, research,
technology and innovation. Currently, I hold the position of Vice-Chair on the Entrepreneurship and
Innovation Section Council, and I'm honored to have been a founding member and past chair of the
Actuarial Innovation and Technology Research Committee. It's with immense gratitude that I stand
as an endorsed candidate for the SOA board, aspiring to tread a path that nurtures fellow actuaries
and sculpts the destiny of our profession. But remember, this campaign isn't just about me; it's
about forging a collective path toward a better actuarial profession. Your vote, regardless of your
choice, is what matters.
My Pledge: Elevate Our Profession Through Innovation, Empowerment, and Global Unity

lead the charge in integrating cutting-edge technologies, data analytics, and AI into our practice.
Let’s seize these tools to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making, keeping us ahead of the

Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders: The future belongs to our next generation of actuaries, and they
deserve opportunities that match their potential. My mission is to create pathways for growth
through volunteer opportunities for younger actuaries, mentorship, education, and tailored
resources. Together, we can empower young actuaries to soar to new heights and become the
driving force of our profession’s evolution.
Global Vision, Local Impact: The scope of our profession knows no bounds, and it's high time we
harnessed its true potential. I am committed to championing unity and collaboration, reaching
across borders to connect with actuaries around the world. I vow to support and promote the SOA’s
DEI initiatives to ensure that all members have the opportunities they deserve to progress in their
actuarial careers.
