In these positions, I developed advanced Excel and data analysis skills and delivered presentations to senior stakeholders, including C-suite executives. Academically, I have consistently demonstrated excellence, earning a First Class Master’s degree and 3 A*s at A Level. To further my professional development, I have completed accredited courses from Erasmus University Rotterdam and Bloomberg Education.
