What I'm looking for

Economics graduate from the University of East London seeking entry-level opportunities in the finance sector, preferably as an Economist or Business Analyst. Open to roles in Stuttgart, Germany, or remote positions within English-speaking (US, UK, or European) companies.

I’m an Economics graduate with a BSc (Hons) First Class Honours (mit Auszeichnung) and 14 distinctions across 18 modules. I translated that analytical foundation into real-world performance—placing 1st in the Bloomberg Trading & Portfolio Management Challenge and building a dissertation focused on UK macro recovery and policy impacts.

In my professional experience, I support operational decisions with structured problem-solving and careful execution. As a Warehouse Associate, I contributed to an UK expansion effort by researching customs regulations, helping shortlist 3PL providers, and supporting estimated savings of approx. £10k/year, while improving order processing, returns, and inventory flow.

I’m now aiming to apply my finance-and-systems mindset in an entry-level Finance Systems / Business Analyst role. I’ve worked across NetSuite, SAP S/4HANA (Finance), Magento, Sendcloud, and ShipStation.
