What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to influence public policy and drive economic development, in a collaborative and innovative environment.

I am an aspiring economist with a strong foundation in Economics and International Relations, currently pursuing my BA at Lancaster University Ghana. My career objective is to enhance organizational value through the application of economic principles, while also serving my country in public office. I am committed to leveraging my analytical skills to shape policies that foster sustainable economic development.

Throughout my academic journey, I have received several awards, including the Provost Award at Lancaster University and recognition in international competitions such as the Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition. My recent experiences include participating in investment banking and asset management programs, where I developed a comprehensive valuation method for Hugo Boss AG shares. I also served as a Customer Service Officer Assistant at Agricultural Development Bank, where I aided customers in banking transactions and optimized usability for audits.
