Summary
I’m a first-year student at the University of Warwick currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in economics, I have a strong interest in finance. I aspire to become an entrepreneur, driven by a passion for understanding global systems and how financial structures influence real-world decisions. I enjoy analyzing trends, researching investments, and have built practical skills through hands-on experience and self-initiated projects. I've completed four finance-related internships, including placements at DMCC and DIFC, which have deepened my understanding of real-world financial operations. I’ve also undertaken online courses, including Foundations of Finance from the University of Cambridge and a virtual work experience program with Citi Bank.
