What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging financial analysis, ESG, and modelling within collaborative teams that prioritize professional development, impact-driven strategy, and clear growth pathways.

I have practical experience in financial analysis, modelling, due diligence, ESG research, stakeholder engagement, and event leadership developed across academic consultancy projects and an internship with a cooperative financial institution.
