Summary

A final-year Finance, Investment & Risk student with a strong foundation in investment research, portfolio analysis, and financial markets. Through the GAIN Investment Insight Programme and a T. Rowe Price insight program, I gained hands-on experience in portfolio construction, risk assessment, and equity analysis.


My academic projects and professional experiences have strengthened my analytical, problem- solving, and financial modelling skills. Additionally, my client-facing roles at Gaucho and Camino have developed my communication and relationship-building abilities, essential for roles in wealth management and financial planning. I am eager to apply my skills in an investment- focused environment and contribute effectively to a financial team.
