FINANCIAL PLANNER

Summary

I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and English Language Studies, currently completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Financial Planning. I have strong communication and problem-solving skills, with a passion for helping people make smart financial decisions.

In my previous role as Sales Leader at Prince of Peace Academy, I worked directly with students, parents, and school principals to promote the school’s services. My efforts helped grow student enrolment by over 250%. This role strengthened my ability to build relationships, explain complex information clearly, and achieve measurable results.

I am now ready to bring my energy, commitment, desire and growing knowledge of financial planning to a team where I can support clients in reaching their financial goals.
