What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to contribute to impactful projects in finance and technology.

I am a dedicated and ambitious finance professional currently pursuing a BSc in Management at the London School of Economics. My experience spans various roles, including a Fundraising and Marketing Intern at Lingocat, where I led initiatives for an AI-driven startup and developed effective marketing strategies. My passion for innovation and technology drives my commitment to supporting startups in their growth journey.

In addition to my internship at Lingocat, I am also a Venture Scout Intern at Kinetic Investments, where I evaluate early-stage startups and facilitate introductions for venture capital investment opportunities. My role as a Teaching Assistant at HEC Lausanne allows me to share my knowledge and foster discussions on global innovation strategies, further enhancing my understanding of the finance and technology landscape.
