What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my analytical skills in a collaborative environment, with opportunities for professional growth and meaningful impact.

As a recent graduate with a Master of Arts in Economics from The University of Edinburgh, I have developed a strong foundation in economic forecasting and data analysis. My dissertation focused on the impact of social media on investor behavior, where I utilized logistic regression techniques to analyze self-collected data. This experience honed my skills in econometric tools such as Python, STATA, and Excel, enabling me to build predictive models and derive meaningful insights from complex datasets.

In my professional journey, I have taken on diverse roles that have strengthened my leadership and teamwork abilities. As a Maths, English, and Science Teacher in Thailand, I successfully created engaging lessons for large classes, consistently achieving high average test scores. My role as a Team Leader at Host Staffing further enhanced my interpersonal skills, as I managed teams at high-profile corporate events, ensuring client satisfaction and effective issue resolution. Additionally, my internship at Demica provided valuable exposure to risk analysis and ESG, solidifying my aspiration to pursue a career in data analysis.
