About

I’m a passionate and driven professional with a Level 7 qualification in Applied Social Studies and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology & Criminology from Coventry University, UK. My academic journey has provided me with valuable insights into human behavior, social dynamics, and critical thinking skills I apply daily in the finance sector. Currently, I work as a Fraud Analyst at Deloitte, where I use my analytical skills and attention to detail to detect and prevent financial fraud, protecting both businesses and customers. Before this, I gained valuable experience in risk management and financial security at NatWest. Alongside my finance career, I’ve developed strong marketing and social media skills through work with global fashion brands like Fashion Nova and Oh Polly. Additionally, I completed the Children First Programme with Tusla, reflecting my commitment to safeguarding and child welfare. With this unique blend of skills and experiences, I’m eager to take on new challenges and continue making a meaningful impact in finance, social care, or related fields
