ABOUT ME

I’m a highly professional and detail-oriented individual with a strong foundation in finance and a genuine passion for developing my accounting career. I currently work as an Assistant Accountant and enjoy playing a key role in supporting the wider finance team.

• Building strong working relationships across different teams

INTERESTS

Outside of work, I enjoy keeping up with my studies in accounting and finding ways to challenge myself mentally. I’m also passionate about working with people, whether that’s through mentoring others at work or building great customer experiences in previous roles. In my spare time, I enjoy travel, socialising with friends, and eating out in new restaurants.
