What I'm looking for

I am seeking analyst roles in finance, investments, risk, or pensions at organizations that value analytical rigor, mentorship, and opportunities to contribute to policy and investment decision-making.

I am a fourth-year Actuarial Science student with hands-on experience in pension supervision, branch operations, and finance-focused leadership roles. My work supporting pension-scheme analysis and regulatory reporting contributed to measurable improvements in accuracy and informed policy briefs adopted in supervisory reviews.

I bring practical finance training from programs aligned with CFA curriculum and specialized coursework in alternative investments, combined with technical proficiency in R, Stata, Excel array formulas and financial modeling. In operations roles I supported sales growth and process efficiencies while organizing client and industry engagement events.

As a student leader and Finance Secretary, I organized multiple networking events and increased engagement, and as a class representative I coordinated industry exposure activities that improved student-faculty communication and coursework compliance. I seek roles where I can apply analytical rigor, investment knowledge, and regulatory awareness to drive impact.
