Finance student focused on capital markets and asset management, creating Excel dashboards and tools for investment analysis.
Burkina FasoWhat I'm looking for
My Master’s studies in Banking and Financial Engineering at Université de l’Unité Africaine focus on corporate finance, capital markets, financial analysis, risk management, and financial engineering.
For an Excel-based business analytics project completed through Johns Hopkins University’s Business Analytics with Excel course, I used Excel to clean, analyze, and visualize data and build models that support decision-making.
I’ve designed dashboards and analysis tools in Microsoft Excel to support decisions, and developed and published an Excel Solver tutorial on Gumroad. I also completed the CISI UMOA Level 1 certification in Financial Markets and am preparing for Level 2 in Bond Markets.
I’m continuing to deepen my expertise in investment analysis and financial risk management, with the goal of pursuing international certifications such as CISI UMOA, CFA, and FRM. I aim to turn financial challenges into investment opportunities through analytical rigor, an ethical and sustainable approach, continuous learning, and professional excellence.
