Summary

I am an ambitious Accounting & Finance student at Manchester Metropolitan University, currently on track to achieve a First-Class Honours degree, with a strong interest in wealth management, investments, and financial markets. Through my academic studies, proprietary trading experience, and customer-facing roles, I have developed a commercially aware and analytical mindset, alongside the ability to communicate confidently and build positive relationships with a wide range of people.

My experience working in fast-paced retail and contact centre environments has strengthened my professionalism, adaptability, and problem-solving skills, while my interest in trading and financial analysis has enhanced my attention to detail, decision-making, and understanding of risk management. I am motivated to begin a career within financial services where I can continue developing my technical and interpersonal skills, contribute positively within a team.
