What I'm looking for

I seek a client-focused role where I can apply risk management and sales skills to grow business, foster relationships, and contribute to compliant, data-informed decision-making.

I am a self-driven sales professional with experience across short-term insurance, project support, and client engagement. I deliver tailored insurance advice, conduct risk assessments, manage policy lifecycles, and maintain strong relationships with clients, insurers, and underwriters to drive new business and retention.

I combine practical project and compliance experience with formal study in risk management and development studies, and I consistently meet targets through clear communication, analytical problem-solving, and attention to detail. I am committed to continuous learning and applying risk modelling and enterprise risk practices to improve outcomes.
