What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in consulting where I can leverage my analytical skills and contribute to impactful projects, while also fostering my professional growth.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in consulting and financial analysis. Currently, I serve as an Associate at Alvarez and Marsal Global Capability Center, where I specialize in post-merger synergy assessments and carve-out models. My role involves conducting detailed analyses of financial reports and presenting market insights that drive strategic decisions for clients. I thrive on translating complex client needs into actionable insights, ensuring that my analyses support their business objectives effectively.

Previously, I interned at McKinsey Global Capabilities & Services, where I researched leading Australian retailers and assessed energy demand in developing countries. This experience honed my ability to analyze market trends and develop data-driven strategies. Additionally, my time as an Associate Software Engineer at EY allowed me to enhance business processes through technical solutions, further solidifying my analytical and problem-solving skills.
