Summary
Highly motivated Year 12 student at The Tiffin School studying Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Economics and Computer Science. Having achieved Grade 9s across all GCSE subjects, I have developed strong analytical, problem-solving and quantitative skills. I am particularly interested in finance and economics and have explored this through work experience at Oasis Accountancy, participation in PwC and Lloyds Banking Group insight programmes, and my role as Vice President of the Finance Society. Through leadership, volunteering and mentoring roles, I have developed excellent communication, teamwork and organisational skills. I am seeking finance work experience to further develop my commercial awareness and gain insight into the financial services industry.
