About

recently completed my MSc in Financial Management and have gained practical experience across finance, retail, hospitality, operations and supply chain. Working in fast-paced, customer-focused environments has helped me develop strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills, along with the ability to adapt quickly and work effectively as part of a team. I enjoy building relationships, understanding business needs and finding practical solutions that create value. My experience has strengthened my skills in financial administration, Microsoft Excel, inventory management, customer service and operational support, while giving me a solid understanding of how businesses operate and grow. I am now looking for graduate and early-career opportunities in Finance, Supply Chain, Operations, Commercial, Business Development and Sales where I can continue to learn, take on new challenges and make a positive contribution from day one. I am always open to connecting with professionals, recruiters and organisations looking for motivated, hardworking individuals.
