What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level to early-career roles in fintech, digital banking, or accounting where I can apply digital payments experience, analytic skills, and grow toward ICAN certification in a collaborative, innovation-focused team.

I am an ICAN student member pursuing professional certification, experienced in financial statement analysis, accounting information systems, and digital transformation projects; I seek roles where I can apply my fintech expertise to improve financial services while continuing professional development.
