What I'm looking for

I seek an analytical role in finance or data where I can apply financial modelling and Excel skills, contribute to impactful projects, grow technically, and work within a collaborative, mission-driven team.

I am an Economics and Finance graduate from Lancaster University with strong analytical grounding in econometrics, corporate finance, and financial reporting, complemented by practical experience in budgeting and data tracking.

I co-founded and led a successful university quiz society, driving weekly attendance above 40, managing budgets, securing sponsorships, and delivering high-impact promotional campaigns; I also helped organise university-wide charity events that raised over £12,000.

My background includes hands-on roles in retail pharmacy operations and tuition support, proficiency with Microsoft Excel and financial modelling basics, and a track record of team leadership, project planning, and clear stakeholder communication.
