What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level finance role where I can apply investment analysis and sustainability knowledge, grow professionally, and contribute through leadership and client-focused work.

I am a high-achieving Bachelor of Science in Business Administration candidate with minors in French and Geography, graduating magna cum laude. As a dedicated student-athlete, I balanced rigorous academics with Division 1 swim commitments and leadership roles.

I have practical finance experience from internships and job-shadowing in Cape Town, where I prepared investment reports, used Bloomberg terminal, and learned about tokenization, decentralized finance, trade finance, and ESG considerations. I bring analytical rigor and clear communication to investment evaluation and client reporting.

My international experience includes a sustainability-focused study abroad in Lisbon and representation of the South African national swim team at world championships and the World University Games, where I served as team captain. These experiences expanded my global network and deepened my interest in sustainability and social entrepreneurship.

I am trilingual (English, French, Afrikaans), enjoy content creation and wildlife videography, and have a proven record mentoring teammates and organizing events. I seek opportunities that leverage my finance and sustainability knowledge while allowing me to grow as a leader.
