About

I am a Master of Finance graduate specializing in Risk Analytics from Massey University, with a strong academic background in investment analysis, financial markets, and risk management. During my studies, I was an active member of the Massey University Investment Club and participated in a CFA-style equity research challenge, where I worked on company analysis, valuation modelling (DCF and DDM), and presenting investment recommendations. These experiences deepened my interest in equity research, valuation, and understanding how risk and market dynamics influence financial outcomes. Alongside my academic experience, I have worked across business operations, sales, and client-facing roles in India and New Zealand. Managing financial administration for a small business and working in fast-paced environments helped me develop strong commercial awareness, adaptability, and a disciplined work ethic. I am known for learning quickly, taking responsibility early, and consistently delivering in new environments. I am now focused on building a career in investment banking or equity research, where I can apply my analytical skills, market knowledge, and strong motivation to contribute and grow in a high-performance finance setting.
