What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in corporate banking or investment analysis where I can use FX/market intelligence and financial modeling to support high-impact decisions, grow technically, and collaborate with teams focused on data-driven analysis.

I’m a Junior Advisor in Corporate Banking at Banco Monex Grupo Financiero, where I provide real-time FX analysis and market intelligence to C-suite stakeholders across a managed corporate portfolio. I also build strategic relationships with consulting firms to co-service foreign corporate clients and deliver sector research on FX trends, economic outlook, and financial derivatives.

I trained in corporate and valuation work through CFI’s FMVA program and strengthen my modeling workflow with Excel, R Studio, and Python. Previously, I produced bilingual (English/Spanish) economic research notes with a Chief Economist, and at Puentes Consortium (Baker Institute for Public Policy) I used econometric methods—co-authoring an English-language research paper with policy applications.
