What I'm looking for

I am seeking analytical, client-facing finance roles where I can apply valuation and credit skills, learn toward ACCA, and grow through meaningful investment or corporate finance responsibilities.

I am a motivated finance student at University College Cork pursuing a B.Sc. in Finance with strong academic results and an intention to pursue ACCA. I combine rigorous coursework in financial reporting, accounting and investment analysis with hands-on experience in student-managed funds.

As a Financials Team Analyst and Credit Analyst in student-managed funds, I performed equity valuations, comparable company analysis, defended investment theses, and completed sovereign credit research and credit case studies. I have applied practical financial modelling and presentation skills in competitive and real-world settings.

Outside academics I run a small barber business, generate significant retail sales, and lead volunteer events—demonstrating entrepreneurship, client management, and team leadership. I thrive in analytical, client-facing roles where I can contribute to investment decisions and continuous learning.
