You may be surprised who is hungry in our communityThey are everyday people with families, responsibilities, and aspirations. They are our friends and neighbors who are struggling and need a helping hand. They are people who face the daily dilemma of choosing which of life's essentials to go without including food.Hunger is an income issue. It affects our most at-risk populations: seniors, people with disabilities, the homeless, and many who work full- and part-time. Hunger also takes its toll on the health and well-being of children more than a third of those eating from an emergency food box are under the age of 13.Since 2010 I have volunteered with the ISNA Food Bank in the capacity of Coordinator of IT Services.We have architected, planned, implemented and maintain the IT infrastructure including our client intake process, barcoding, supply chain, and analytical capabilities.We have shared our solutions and methodology with sister organizations across the GTA and Golden Horseshoe.Since 2010 we have helped donate over 2,000,000 lbs of food supplies to 38,000 families feeding 146,000 individuals.

Just shy of a decade, my tenure at Russel Metals involved the consolidation of 3 separate IT work streams into the high impact Applications team where I provided oversight and leadership.Originally brought on to extend the Data Warehouse, I quickly spread into the Business Intelligence, Oracle Financials and the HRMS teams along with their respective business units.With the Data Warehouse and the Decision Support System as a backbone, we tackled everything from custom integrations and software solutions, to multiyear implementations of MRP and ERP systems. Russel Metals remains incredibly nimble and lean; especially for an organization that grows consistently through acquisition. By sheer nature of this phenomenon, I was consistently exposed to new challenges and opportunities to design, plan, implement and manage solutions for evolving business needs.I quickly learned that a technology solution is only as successful as the people and processes that support it, and that change management is a crucial component to the success of any project.I had the opportunity to work with brilliant individuals throughout all levels of the organization across North America.Russel Metals consistently stretched and honed my skill set. I am forever richer for the experience.
