What attracted you to a career in wealth management?

My fascination with the intricate world of finance and investments has been a driving force since my early academic years and even after completing two master's degree at the Queen Mary university of London in Investment and Management & Behavioural Finance. The prospect of applying this passion to assist my team members in achieving clients' financial objectives and making tangible change in individual's lives was important to me.

How do you approach your role on a daily basis?

My role in the team is to assist with the administration of clients' portfolios on behalf of private clients, pensions, trusts, charities and the award-winning Climate Assets and the Libero Balanced Funds. I believe my role is instrumental in the client's journey towards achieving their financial goals by maintaining efficient operations and offering excellent client services. I contribute to a well-rounded and effective team, making sure that the Investment managers are equipped with whatever they need to achieve the clients' objectives and enhance their prospects for financial success.

What are your interests outside of work?

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, I love travelling and restaurant hopping. I am also passionate about getting involved with different charity works. My favourite event so far is teaming up with a couple of people during the Christmas holiday to do the 'Shoe box appeal' which was a success. I am also currently working on attaining the professional qualifications relevant to my current role as the financial industry is always changing and progressing. It is important for me to stay intellectually engaged and adapting to emerging challenges and opportunities.
