I am currently seeking an internship in Finance for the period between June 30th and August 25th. I’m particularly interested in opportunities that allow me to apply and further develop my financial management and analytical skills in a practical, fast-paced environment.

I chose to pursue a degree in finance because I’ve grown up immersed in it—my father is a private banker specializing in relationship management, and his work deeply inspired me. Watching him build client trust and navigate financial strategies sparked my own interest in the field from a young age. Over time, I began exploring finance through certifications and internships, and it quickly became clear that this world of strategy, analysis, and impact was where I wanted to be.

I’ve actively pursued advanced learning through a variety of internationally recognized platforms. I completed several Coursera specializations to deepen my understanding of financial systems, markets, and economics. These include:

• Economics of Money and Banking – Columbia University
• Microeconomics Principles – University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
• Foundational Finance for Strategic Decision Making – University of Michigan
• Introduction to Finance and Accounting – University of Pennsylvania

These courses helped me build a strong foundation in macroeconomic theory, microeconomic behavior, financial decision-making, and capital markets.

Additionally, I completed a KHDA-certified forex trading course in Dubai, officially establishing myself as one of the youngest certified forex traders in the country. This experience sharpened my technical skills, risk analysis, and decision-making abilities in real-time market conditions.

 I enjoy a balanced mix of athletic and intellectual pursuits—badminton, swimming, and tennis keep me physically active and disciplined, while debate, stock trading, and research reflect my passion for critical thinking, strategy, and staying informed on global trends.
