🌈 About Me

I'm eager to join forces with you! My time at the University of St.Gallen taught me a lot, mainly how to tackle complex problems from different perspectives and how to flourish under pressure. My real passion, though, sparked when I started working at Inyova Impact Investing. That's where I got acquainted with the realm of sustainable finance and the positive ripple effect it can create. Unexpectedly, I then found myself yearning to become.. a finance bro – ish. I dove into financial updates and news, started honing my data science skills, and signed up for masters that would steer me towards making an impact in finance. Academia is cool, but nothing beats hands-on experience, which is why I'd love to join your team as a working student while pursuing my master's degree.
