Akash Tharakan Email & Phone Number

I am an Engineering (Hon) / Commerce student at the University of New South Wales, currently working on contract with Fig Tree Hall as the socials director and with 180 Degrees consulting as a project consultant.I like to think of myself as a passionate, quietly determined and bold individual, with good people skills and problem solving prowess. I graduated from high school with a 99.85 ATAR and was amongst the very best in Australia at mathematics, physics and chemistry. However I also spent this time on a multitude of extra curricular such as: developing my public speaking skills, for which I won many competitions and awards, debating, which I captained and was a state finalist, whilst also leading the Mock Trials club (as one of the consistently highest scoring barristers in the competition) and Chess club as the captain. Concurrently I dabbled in music, playing in several different ensembles over 4 different instruments, and theatre, partaking in various productions. I also represented the school on their badminton team, and was a house prefect helping to contribute to winning the Cockhouse Cup.Now I am looking forward to developing my skills in my chosen fields, with an interest in the world of corporate finance. I’d like to think that I’m a well rounded person who’s good to have around, and I look forward to making my place in this world.
