My background includes a strong foundation in economics and finance, complemented by a BA (Hons) in Economics with Finance from the University of Hertfordshire. I have a proven track record of driving financial performance through meticulous analysis and reporting, utilizing tools like SAP, Tableau, and Salesforce to enhance operational efficiency. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about leveraging data to inform business strategies.
