About Me

I've spent the last 14 years buried in spreadsheets, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. I started out as a junior analyst at a mid-size accounting firm, manually formatting the same reports every single week. That frustration pushed me to learn VBA, and it completely changed how I work. Since then, I've built macro-driven tools for finance teams, operations departments, and logistics companies that save hundreds of hours each quarter. Excel VBA is one of those skills that sounds intimidating until you see what it can actually do.

My teaching approach is practical and grounded. I walk students through real scenarios I've encountered on the job, not abstract textbook examples. You'll write code that solves actual problems, like consolidating data from multiple workbooks or generating formatted reports with a single click. By the end of my courses, students tell me they feel confident building their own macros instead of relying on someone else. That's the goal: give you the tools to make Excel work for you, not the other way around.
