About

I have a quantitative economics background and hands-on experience across commodity operations within a global investment bank. My current role has given me exposure to the full trade lifecycle and regular interaction with Front and Middle Office teams.

I am particularly interested in progressing towards increasingly analytical and markets-facing work, with a focus on commodities and energy.
