Summary

I’m an Economics student with a strong interest in finance and analysis, built upon a solid foundation of economic theory and quantitative analysis. During my two-week internship at Santander, I shadowed industry experts and gained valuable insights into financial strategies, further honing my analytical skills. Additionally, I volunteered at a primary school, where I developed key skills in communication, teamwork, and problem-solving by assisting teachers and supporting students in their learning. My academic journey, combined with my experiences in powerlifting and rugby, has helped me build adaptability, resilience, and strong interpersonal skills. I am committed to continuous learning and eager to contribute positively to any professional environment I join.
