What I'm looking for

I am looking for internship or early-career roles in finance or trading that emphasize disciplined risk management, hands-on market analysis, mentorship, and opportunities for measurable impact and professional growth.

I am an undergraduate pursuing a Bachelor of Business with a major in Finance and a minor in Logistics and Supply Chain, driven by a strong interest in financial intermediaries and market dynamics. I bring hands-on trading experience as an independent and proprietary FX trader, having passed FTMO challenge and verification while applying disciplined risk management and technical, price-action, and fundamental analysis.

My background includes operational and instructional roles in the Singapore Armed Forces, where I trained naval cadets to a 100% passing rate, improved learning materials, and ran practical engineering lessons on unmanned vessels. I have internship experience in aerospace MRO documentation and liaison with shop-floor engineers, demonstrating attention to detail and cross-functional communication.

I am eager to translate my analytical skills, disciplined decision-making under pressure, and process-improvement mindset into internships or entry-level roles in finance, trading, or operations where I can contribute immediately and continue to learn.
