About Sandra

I am a Senior Manager in Risk Technology at Scotiabank, where I have delivered impactful solutions within cloud migration and data-driven decision making initiatives, and built credit risk models across a $12B portfolio. My expertise spans retail credit risk modelling, Python, GCP, MLOps, and data strategy. Recently, I have been experimenting with Generative AI to explore new ways of delivering insights and enhancing decision-making. I am also a passionate community builder. As City Lead for Women in AI Canada (London & Southwestern Ontario), I create spaces where ambition and belonging thrive. Additionally, I hold a PhD in Chemical Engineering at Western University with a strong focus on Mathematical Modelling and Machine Learning applications.
