About Me

Building a career
in finance

Focused on building a career in finance, with a strong interest in financial markets.

I have gained early exposure through competitive programmes such as the Morgan Stanley Summer Academy and AmplifyME Summer Analyst Programme, where I ranked in the top 9% in a $20 million multi-asset trading simulation.

Through these experiences, I have developed hands-on experience in financial analysis, portfolio construction, and data analysis, alongside a solid understanding of market dynamics and decision-making.

I've worked in fast-paced, high-responsibility environments, from supporting a UK General Election to holding leadership roles within student societies. These roles strengthened my teamwork, communication, and ability to perform under pressure.

I'm keen to develop my technical and commercial skill set and connect with professionals. I'm open to insight programmes, internships, and early-career opportunities.
