Profile
I am a young, determined, reliable, and resilient bachelor’s graduate with a strong attention to detail. I equally enjoy working with numbers and people.
After completing my apprenticeship in banking in 2016 and recently my bachelor’s studies, I am more than ready for a new challenge. The only missing ingredient to my future success is an open door.
