What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and allows for professional growth.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in product development and market intelligence, currently serving as a Senior Product Development and Market Intelligence Officer at Awash Bank. My journey began with a strong academic foundation, earning my MSc in Accounting and Finance with distinction from Jimma University. Over the years, I have honed my skills in research, lecturing, and community service, contributing significantly to the fields of accounting and finance.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Senior Lecturer at Wolkite University, where I taught both undergraduate and postgraduate students. My commitment to education is matched by my passion for research, as evidenced by my work as a Research Reviewer and Guest Editor for several academic journals. I have published numerous papers addressing critical issues in finance and accounting, showcasing my ability to bridge theory and practice.

In addition to my academic and professional achievements, I am actively involved in community service, providing solutions to local challenges and mentoring students in their research projects. I am eager to leverage my expertise in a dynamic environment that values innovation and collaboration.
