Summary

I am an accounting and finance undergraduate with a strong passion for fintech and circular thinking, strategic management, and self-development. My experience in fast-paced, customer-facing roles has sharpened my ability to think on my feet, solve problems, and drive business growth – whether it was managing 40+ reservations at TGI Fridays Wembley or helping double café sales at Waitrose through strategic upselling. I'm now looking to take the next step in my career, applying my finance knowledge and growing technical skills (Python, HTML) in a dynamic, forward-thinking role. My goal is to leverage as much experience as possible to go ahead and contribute to projects with sustainable and long lasting impacts abroad in developing countries with emerging economies.
