What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic workplace that values collaboration and offers growth opportunities.

I am a driven and ambitious individual with a passion for achieving excellence in my career. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science at the University of Lagos, I maintain a CGPA of 4.62/5.00, reflecting my commitment to academic excellence. My journey has been enriched by hands-on experiences in accounting and actuarial consulting, where I have honed my analytical and problem-solving skills.

In my role as an Accountant at Dellyman Nigeria Limited, I successfully optimized transaction processing, resulting in a 20% increase in efficiency. My internship at Ernst and Young allowed me to develop strong research and analytical skills, enhancing my ability to generate actionable insights from large datasets. I thrive in collaborative environments, as demonstrated by my teamwork with cross-functional teams to integrate technology solutions for improved financial processes.

Beyond my professional experiences, I am actively involved in community service as a volunteer with Lagos Foodbankhouse, where I engage with slum communities to provide meals and explore sustainable financial solutions. I am eager to continue expanding my expertise and contribute positively to my future workplace.
