During my time at UCL, I participated in the DECA 2022 case competition and was in the top-performing team in the Corporate Finance category. I have gained insight into the valuation of strategies and made a reasonable recommendation. I have also honed my skills in PowerPoint, using Python to analyze data through various class projects and self-directed learning. For instance, I am currently working on a project to summarize the financial statements of different firms using Python. Moreover, I have achieved gold and distinction in UKMT and American Maths Competition. My academic achievements, combined with my drive for continuous learning, make me confident in my ability to excel in this position.

Apart from my academic background, I have developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills through my experience in AXA Insurance in Singapore. Here, I collaborated with a team to design a suitable insurance plan for a certain client by considering their needs, income level, etc. I also attended 6-day virtual courses about how to analyze stocks by analyzing a firm using SWOT and Five Forces and looking at its financial statement during Covid.  And as a house captain in my previous school, I help the teacher to organize different events, for example, I organized the Christmas ball for the whole international department. These experiences have enabled me to develop strong teamwork and communication skills, which I believe will be invaluable for this position.
