I am an Investment Associate with a strong foundation in finance and statistics, currently working in the renewables infrastructure sector. My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Statistics from University College London, where I achieved a distinction and excelled in modules such as Data Analysis and Machine Learning in Finance. My dissertation focused on option pricing using the uncertain volatility model, showcasing my analytical skills and commitment to advancing my knowledge in finance.

In my professional journey, I have gained extensive experience in investment banking and wealth management. At Barclays, I contributed to significant deals across Europe and the US, including high-profile acquisitions and refinancings. My role involved building complex financial models, conducting thorough analyses, and preparing critical investor materials. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive value and strategic growth in the organizations I work with.
