What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build a long-term career in FX sales, developing specialist currency-market knowledge while building strong client relationships and working toward measurable sales goals.

I'm building a career in FX sales, drawing on Economics and Finance studies, Bloomberg certifications, and a genuine interest in how economic events and central bank decisions move currency markets.

As a part-time Bookkeeper at Adey Interiors, I've managed Xero bookkeeping, reconciled accounts, analysed project profit margins, and provided pricing and cost-efficiency ideas to the CEO. My sales, HR, financial administration, and coaching experience has strengthened my client communication, commercial awareness, leadership, and ability to perform in fast-paced environments.
