Summary

I am an accomplished international athlete in karate, having competed at the World Championships where I achieved a notable 5th place. During my athletic journey, I dedicated three years to intensive training at the Olympic Training Center, all while pursuing my BCom Degree at the University of Pretoria. This dual commitment not only honed my physical prowess but also instilled in me the values of discipline, time management, and resilience.

Upon graduating from the University of Pretoria with a BCom in Economics, I gained a comprehensive understanding of economics, business management, labor law, and informatics. To enhance my financial acumen, I completed the Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst (FMVA) diploma from CFI, equipping me with the skills to perform intricate financial modeling and valuation analytics.

On a personal note, I have recently immigrated to Israel, a move that aligns with my desire for new challenges and experiences. Embracing the dynamic environment of the Jewish state, I am eager to contribute my diverse skill set to its financial landscape while continuing my journey of professional and personal growth.
