Summary

Highly motivated finance student with a diverse background in management and client service. I am currently transitioning from a successful career as a Fitness Coach and Personal Trainer at One Academy into Finance Industry. Passionate about Financial Market and committed to leveraging my unique journey and experiences to excel in my new career path. I started my undergraduate finance education at Curtin University in Malaysia, known for its Australian degree programs. After migrating to Toronto and overcoming degree equivalency challenges, I continued my pursuit of a finance career by enrolling in an equivalent degree program at Humber College, Toronto. This experience has enriched my education, providing me with a global perspective and a strong ability to adapt in any industry.
