As a final-year BA Economics and International Development student poised for a 2:1, I bring a proactive, ambitious nature with a keen problem-solving aptitude and a 'can-do' spirit. With a genuine interest in private markets, current affairs, gaining a CFA qualification and an analytical mindset, I am eager to join AXA as an Impact Equities Trainee.

My three years of diverse experience in the financial services industry, from roles in retail banking to investment management firms, highlight my adaptability and ability to exceed client expectations. I am dedicated to staying updated on global affairs to enhance my commercial awareness, while my proactive approach to tasks underscores my commitment to team success and leadership. My unwavering dedication to upholding ethical standards drives me to excel in any environment, reflecting my integrity and maturity. Additionally, my expertise in financial modeling and ability to thrive in high-pressure environments further demonstrate my readiness to contribute effectively to MIO's team.
