I am a commercially aware individual with a strong interest in financial services. After completing my degree, I was due to begin a graduate scheme in Consulting within Financial Services; however, due to the economic downturn, that opportunity did not come to fruition. This has heightened my resolve to make valuable contributions within this industry, having now studied and honed skills tailored towards it. Here I have embedded a presentation from my experience at DX, identifying an opportunity for improvement while streamlining an operational process using my studies.

  • Property Loans Advisor

    Kajla Limited - 07/02/2023 - 15/11/2024

    This experience involved navigating through a turbulent economic period as part of a growing real estate enterprise. I primarily advised on economic policy and interest rates with respect to the Property Manager’s intentions to secure a loan/remortgage during uncertain times, providing clarity where possible using my studies. This also included day-to-day ad hoc responsibilities that arise within a construction environment.

  • Billing Assistant + Administrator

    DX Network Services Limited - 09/09/2019 - 30/06/2020

    This experience required meeting multiple weekly deadlines critical to achieving the group’s revenue and cash targets. I was responsible for capturing all chargeable revenue for the downstream access service in the UK while working independently within the Billing team. This relied upon an attention to detail, strict time management and resilience in overcoming constant setbacks such as missing information. Such setbacks required cooperation across teams which, alongside sensitive conversations with clients, made me more conscious of the value of effective communication.

  • Accounts Assistant

    Business Accountants (Chartered Accountants) - 27/06/2016 - 08/07/2016

    Although this experience was for a short period, I was able to quickly adapt and learn how to use various accounting software. This experience also gave me early exposure to the importance of client interactions at a smaller business.
