Harvey Connachan
Summary
From interning twice at Paragon Bank in London to working in America for 3 months at an all-Jewish summer camp, developing skills in teamwork, resilience, and building self-confidence. Travelling and working away from home has allowed me to become a more well-rounded person who is independent, headstrong, and social. My time in university/college has taught me many things as well. Gaining confidence in public speaking, communicating, and problem-solving. I have achieved my lifeguard (NPLQ), first aid qualifications, and maintained part-time jobs while being fully committed to gaining my degree in Finance. I am a hard-working individual who loves to be submerged in new environments and cultures, which I believe is shown in my achievements over the last 5 years.
