What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that offers growth opportunities and allows me to apply my analytical skills in finance.

I am currently pursuing a BA Hons in Accounting & Finance at the University of Liverpool, where I have developed a strong foundation in financial principles and practices. My coursework has included modules in Audit and Assurance, as well as Financial Reporting, allowing me to gain practical experience in analyzing data using tools such as Python, EViews, and Excel.

My work experience includes a 14-day insight program at PWC in Dubai, where I learned about audit processes and enhanced my Excel skills. Additionally, I have worked as a Retail Assistant at Tesco, where I honed my communication skills by interacting with customers daily. My internship at Sika AG further solidified my finance skills, as I assisted in payroll processing, month-end reconciliations, and financial analysis presentations, contributing to a £2 million project.
