What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can support financial research and analysis, verify information quality, and turn data into clear recommendations—ideally with room to grow, strong feedback, and a culture that values accuracy.

I’m a detail-oriented Banking and Finance undergraduate with a strong desire for analytical reasoning, research, and problem-solving. I review complex information, identify inconsistencies, and provide structured feedback based on established criteria.

I work through self-directed projects as a Research and Academic Analyst (2024–Present), reviewing and analyzing large volumes of financial and economic information to support decision-making. I assess data quality, relevance, and consistency, and maintain organized documentation and concise written findings with high accuracy.

I’m especially drawn to emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, and data-driven decision-making. Through coursework and projects like investment evaluation using NPV, IRR, and Payback Period, I translate quantitative analysis into evidence-based recommendations.
