About Candidate

I have completed my Bachelor of International Business Management with a Finance specialisation in France. Drawing from my experience in competitive cycling, I’m disciplined, self-motivated and possess a strong solution-oriented, quick-thinking, and creative mindset.
During my studies, I realised I have an aptitude for research and analysis and a keen interest in the dynamics of investing, financial markets, and market trends. I have a deep and committed desire to learn and contribute to the processes involved in investment portfolios, and I have above-average presentation skills, with an aptitude for languages. I am a native English speaker, can speak French fluently and have a school competency in isiZhosa and Setswana.

Education

B
Bachelor of International Business Management specialisation in Finance 2024
Grenoble Ecole de Management, Grenoble, France

Grenoble Ecole de Management is a triple-accredited institution (AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS) and is a pioneer in technology and multicultural management. After studying for 2 years at ESC Claremond-Ferrand, I chose to do my third year at GEM. This allowed me to specialise in Finance and better understand international companies' competitive positioning and strategies. We also participated in negotiations with internal and external customers and partners. We deeply studied data analysis and project management methods and tools. And the area I most excelled at was analysing a company's financial situation. I have excellent Microsoft Office skills and have basic understanding of SQL and Python.
