What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to apply my knowledge in finance and banking, particularly in environments that value innovation and digital solutions for financial access.

I am an Accounting and Finance student with a strong educational background in financial management, reporting, and banking systems. My academic journey has been enriched by a research study on 'The Effects of Digital Banking in Enhancing Access to Financial Services: A Case Study of Standard Chartered Bank.' This project allowed me to delve into fintech and financial inclusion, gaining valuable insights that I am eager to apply in a professional setting.

Through my research, I collected and analyzed both primary and secondary data, exploring how digital banking platforms contribute to financial inclusion in Kenya. I focused on the role of mobile banking, fintech innovations, and digital solutions in improving access to financial services, particularly for underserved populations. This experience has strengthened my skills in data analysis, critical thinking, and academic writing, and has provided me with practical insights into the intersection of technology and finance.
