Driven actuarial science graduate with strong analytical skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly driven and independent woman with a Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science. My academic background has equipped me with the mathematical and statistical methods necessary to assess risk in various industries, including insurance and finance. I have gained valuable experience through internships and full-time roles, where I have honed my skills in data analysis, risk management, and effective communication.
During my time as an Actuarial Intern at Prudential Life Assurance, I utilized actuarial tools such as Excel and SAS to produce analyses and assist senior actuaries. My role involved modifying existing spreadsheets, investigating numerical discrepancies, and communicating results to both technical and non-technical audiences. Additionally, my experience as a Zonal Census Coordinator at the Zambia Statistics Agency allowed me to develop strong leadership and organizational skills, ensuring the successful execution of census operations.
Currently, I am working as a Sales Representative at Altus Money Solutions Limited, where I manage a mobile money and instant banking store. My focus is on providing exceptional customer service and educating clients about our financial services. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience in a challenging role that allows for professional growth and development.
