Analytical skills developed within complex change environments as well as providing individual financial and corporate employee benefits planning advice.+6 years in project and platform environments, 7 years in retail and 20 years in financial planning management. The professional experiences gained through the Financial Services & Retail Services markets have made me a strong self-starter. Have gained a wealth of experience in managing a range of teams as well as developing self-motivation and team player qualities. Extremely driven, very determined and ambitious delivering results, often exceeding expectations. It is hugely important to me to leave a legacy for the Aviva BA community by working with the next generation of analysts as a mentor, buddy and coach. From 2019, have volunteered for a charity, Career Ready, delivering a master class in “Communication and Networking” as well as mentoring 6th form students, preparing them for their next steps in life. This commitment requires regular interactions throughout the year. Also authored and presented at the IRM UK BA European conference 2020 on developing BA soft “selling” skills. Am very passionate about the wellbeing of individuals and from 2022, have been the Aviva Bristol Lead for the “health heroes” employee workplace wellbeing initiative in Aviva.
