First-class Economics graduate focused on asset management and investing.
What I'm looking for
I am a First-Class Economics graduate with strong analytical and research skills focused on asset management and investment banking. I completed the JPMorgan Chase Investment Banking Simulation and additional finance certifications, which sharpened my knowledge of portfolio management and financial analysis.
I founded and grew a retail beauty and hairstyling business, where I managed inventory, optimized pricing and marketing strategies, improved processes, and increased sales by 70%, while serving 25+ clients monthly. I also handled bookkeeping and financial transactions, improving reporting accuracy and operational efficiency.
I seek to apply my quantitative grounding, practical entrepreneurial experience, and certification-backed finance training to roles in asset management, investment analysis, or related finance functions where I can contribute to portfolio strategy and continue developing as a finance professional.
