What I'm looking for

I am seeking a customer-centric banking role where I can grow client portfolios, strengthen relationships, and apply credit and compliance expertise while advancing into leadership.

I am a results-driven banking professional with experience across retail, SME and executive banking roles, focused on customer service, business development and credit risk controls. I have a Bachelor of Commerce in Management Information Systems and a track record of growing client relationships, cross-selling products and managing loan documentation to protect portfolio quality.

I bring strong relationship management, credit analysis and compliance skills, plus experience in financial advisory, sales and IT support from internship roles. I am adaptable, team-oriented and motivated to apply my leadership and problem-solving skills to help an organization grow while expanding my expertise in banking and financial services.
