What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic financial environment that values analytical expertise and offers growth opportunities.

I am a motivated graduate in Banking, Finance, and Information Management, with a solid foundation in accounting, investment, marketing, and business operations. My proficiency in financial analysis, risk management, and regulatory compliance is complemented by practical experience in administrative support. I have a strong commitment to ethical practices and meticulous attention to detail, which I believe are essential in the financial sector.

Throughout my professional journey, I have developed skills in utilizing financial software to facilitate data-driven decision-making and enhance client relationships. My experience as a Research and Administrative Assistant at the University of Ghana allowed me to support research projects effectively while improving administrative processes. Additionally, my role as a Financial Consultant at Prudential Life Insurance Ghana involved educating clients on policy benefits and analyzing financial portfolios to recommend optimal strategies.
