What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can combine financial engineering, data science, and investment research to build reliable models and dashboards, support client due diligence, and deliver value in fast-paced, deadline-driven teams.

I’m a results-driven Financial Engineer and Data Scientist with hands-on experience in investment banking, data analytics, and financial modelling. In my Graduate Trainee role at Rock Investment Bank, I conducted investment research, built valuation models (DCF, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions), and supported client due diligence and pitch materials.

I also strengthen decision-making with data: as a Part-Time Data Analyst for the Juja Sub-County Director of Education Office, I collected, cleaned, and analysed educational datasets and designed dashboards and data summaries to support resource allocation. Alongside my technical work, I’ve represented Zindi Africa as a Data Science Community Ambassador—organising events and workshops to grow student engagement in data science competitions and upskilling.
