Summary

I'm a recent graduate of Master of Professional Accounting and Business Administration at Holmes Institute in Australia. I also completed my degree at Northumbria University when I was in Sri Lanka prior to coming to Australia. Commitment and Hard work are two things that go hand in hand with my daily life. I would thrive at new opportunities and would not be afraid to take on new challenges. I'm a people's person as people have often complimented me for my friendly professional behavior. Innovating thinking is something I have developed over the years having worked at few different companies. I used to work at HSBC as a senior fund administrator, handling accounting reconciliation, supervising colleagues' work, associating with corporate social responsibilities in my tenure there. I have worked with different jurisdiction with people from different backgrounds which emphasis how I can work with a diverse culture. Team is the one thing that makes us feel like family at work and I'm a person who other people love to work with due to my sense of humor. Taking responsibility and holding yourself accountable when they matter is something I do not take lightly as I consider those two as most important elements when it comes to dealing with conflicts. Through the experience i have gained so far with the companies I have worked for and numerous people I have worked under, I have a clear vision of who I want to be. I'm currently looking for positions that suit my education background and my experience.
