Summary

I am a highly motivated and commercially minded 18 year old seeking a finance apprenticeship or entry level finance role. I have a relevant academic background, as well as real-world experience in quantitative finance recruitment, which gave me early exposure to high level financial markets.

I chose not to attend university in order to enter the industry early, gain hands on experience, and develop practical skills that will help me throughout my career. I am currently committed to self studying financial modelling, accounting fundamentals, and advanced excel, and I take a disciplined and pro active approach to continuous learning and self improvement.

I am ambitious, reliable, and highly results driven and I am looking for an opportunity to add value to a firm by demonstrating these skills. I am extremely eager to learn from experienced professionals, and grow long term in a high performing financial environment.
