As a post-graduate with a First-Class Honours Degree and Masters in Business Management, Finance and Entrepreneurship, I have always had a passionate interest in the financial markets, trading my own small portfolio, dealing in Forex, Indices and Commodities for the past three years during university, aided by a further Diploma in Applied Financial Trading.More recently, my skills have been utilised in advising and assisting in a new business start up, providing eco-services and products to the commercial sector and end user.During my under-graduate years, my primary experience was working in retail, involving selling products and services to customers. These roles enabled me to develop a depth of product knowledge, as well as an understanding of client wants/needs in order to provide tailored solutions.Alongside my studies, for many years I was involved in freestyle skiing, having been a sponsored skier with a stint in the British Youth Freestyle Ski team, working alongside industry multinationals. To this end I have a clear understanding of how multinationals operate and function. In addition to this, working at competition level in the UK and across Europe, I learnt skills including planning, analysing and reviewing outcomes, utilising constructive criticism, teamworking and self-motivation, all of which I have taken from my time training with teams and coaches.
