What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my financial expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on growth and efficiency.

I am a highly motivated individual with a Bachelor’s degree in Banking and Finance & Financial Risk Management from Victoria University, Australia. My academic journey, complemented by my studies at NSBM in Sri Lanka, has equipped me with a strong foundation in financial analysis, budgeting, and investment strategies.

Currently, I am gaining hands-on experience as a Trainee at Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation, where I maintain and update financial records, assist with VAT calculations, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. My analytical skills and attention to detail enable me to thrive in fast-paced financial environments, and I am passionate about applying my financial knowledge to drive business growth and operational efficiency.
