Summary

A results-driven and disciplined professional with a diverse background, I bring a unique blend of leadership, international exposure, and academic excellence to the table. Having grown up in Singapore, I developed a solid foundation in discipline and teamwork during my two-year tenure as an infantry lieutenant in the army. Leading and training up to 260 recruits every three months, I honed my organizational and leadership skills in a dynamic and high-stakes environment.

My educational journey includes high school at a boarding school in India, where I pursued an International Baccalaureate Diploma, showcasing my commitment to academic excellence and a global perspective. Post my military service, I further expanded my horizons by pursuing higher education in Dublin. During my time at university, I seamlessly integrated theoretical knowledge with practical experience through two impactful internships.

In the realm of finance, I gained valuable insights and hands-on experience, demonstrating a keen understanding of the intricacies of the financial industry. Additionally, my internship in data analysis equipped me with a solid foundation in leveraging data for informed decision-making, showcasing my adaptability to diverse professional environments.

Now seeking new opportunities, I am poised to contribute my unique skill set, forged through a combination of military leadership, academic achievement, and practical experience. My ability to adapt quickly, collaborate effectively, and tackle challenges head-on positions me as a versatile professional ready to make meaningful contributions in a dynamic and fast-paced professional landscape.
