What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth, where I can leverage my financial expertise and passion for technology.

I am a dedicated financial analyst with a strong background in fund administration and oversight. Currently, I lead a team at Franklin Templeton, where I ensure 100% accuracy and regulatory compliance across various fund activities. My role involves collaborating with multiple stakeholders to resolve complex issues and enhance operational efficiency through digital automation tools and dashboards.

Previously, I co-founded an NFT project on the Solana Blockchain, where I successfully built a community and launched an educational app. My experience spans across various roles in finance, including fund accounting and risk management, where I have consistently delivered high-quality financial analysis and reporting. I am passionate about leveraging technology to improve financial processes and drive strategic decision-making.
