Accounts and Finance graduate with strong financial analysis skills.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic finance role that fosters growth and learning.

I am an Accounts and Finance graduate with a solid foundation in financial analysis and accounting principles. My academic journey has equipped me with the skills necessary to thrive in a finance role, and I am eager to apply my knowledge in a professional setting. I have a strong commitment to learning and developing practical expertise, which I believe will enable me to contribute effectively to any organization.

Throughout my internships, I have gained valuable experience in financial operations, taxation, and accounting. For instance, during my time as a Finance Intern at IFZA, I performed bank statement analysis and bookkeeping, utilizing Zoho Books for financial management. Additionally, my role as a Business & Finance Management Intern at ArtPerUK allowed me to manage financial operations and support grant reporting processes. These experiences have honed my analytical skills and provided me with a comprehensive understanding of financial management.

My dedication to sustainable finance is evident in my dissertation research, where I explored the application of sustainable finance to address energy challenges in developing countries. I am passionate about utilizing my skills in financial planning and analysis to contribute to meaningful projects that promote sustainability and social responsibility.
