CORE SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
Since graduating from university I have worked in the offices of some of the most
renowned and respected financial institutions in the UK. This has given me
experience in working in a fast paced environment, dealing with the public on a daily
basis and adhering to processes and legal procedures.
Through working in finance I have learned how to work off my own initiative to
achieve my goals and targets as well as how to engage with all levels of the
businesses I have worked for effectively. I have also had the opportunity to hone my
analytical and reasoning skills and have also learned how to work quickly without
sacrificing quality and attention to detail. This has been beneficial in my current
position and during my studies as I am currently studying for my IATI qualification.
In my spare time I love to read, spend time with my family, catch up with friends and
go to the gym. I also write my own music as well as playing guitar, piano and ukulele.
