Summary

I have always had an interest in the world of finance and pursued this further by taking a LIBF Diploma in Financial Studies at Sixth form where I consistently delivered Grade A marks throughout my course. This course gave a great insight into the different aspects of finance which is what drove me to progress further with Samuel & Co under their Junior Trader program. Over the past year, I have explored and gained experience in trading the foreign exchange markets and would now like to integrate this into a career to earn a stable income whilst doing what I love. My work experience over the last 4 years has developed my customer service and communication skills as well as my ability to use my initiative and work independently. I am a focussed individual that perseveres through challenges with determination to achieve a positive outcome. Whilst initially shy in demeanour, I am hardworking and adapt to my environment and secure good relationships to work productively within a team. My motivation and desire to learn new skills has seen me secure good exam grades and work experience that I believe gives me a great baseline to begin a positive career in the financial sector. I would relish the opportunity for a position that could allow me to develop and work within the financial sector to continue my interest in trading and finance.
