What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic environment that values data-driven decision-making and offers opportunities for professional growth in finance and sustainability.

I am a dedicated finance professional with a strong academic background in Economics and Management Science, currently pursuing my MA at Humboldt University of Berlin. My expertise lies in data analysis, financial reporting, and process optimization, with a proven track record of enhancing business insights through advanced data modeling and visualization techniques.

Throughout my career, I have gained diverse experience in financial analysis, risk assessment, and business transformation. My roles at HSBC Bank and Alstom Transportation have equipped me with a deep understanding of corporate finance, credit risk management, and operational efficiency. I am passionate about leveraging technology, such as PowerBI and R, to drive data-driven decision-making and streamline financial processes.

Complementing my professional experience, I have a strong foundation in both economics and psychology, which enables me to approach problems with a unique interdisciplinary perspective. I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth, with a particular interest in sustainability and macroeconomic trends.
