Summary

I will bring my knowledge of business information systems and marketing to develop my career in Business and Marketing analytics. My involvement with the Duke of Edinburgh’s international youth awards program at high school highlighted the importance of teamwork, leadership and problem-solving which has strengthened my desire to work in the world of business and make a positive difference to organisations. Studying Business Management at university has developed my skills in data and business analysis, enabling me to adapt to dynamic and competitive environments, involving real-world challenges. My market research and strategic thinking skills were strengthened during my internship at Vacayit by implementing plans to expand business operations. I devised an innovative solution to identify key U.S. states for the company to expand internationally. I can demonstrate a strong work ethic, combining school and university studies whilst working part-time and being involved in a range of extra-curricular activities. My internship at Fensom Advisory focused on systems development, where I proposed and designed a CRM hub for investor and clients. This developed my skills in UI and UX, designing the front end of the CRM as well as the back end, exemplifying effective data management. I enjoy learning and strive to continuously improve as shown by my academic and personal accomplishments. These also emphasise my adaptability, resilience and strong communication.
