In 2018 I joined Citi Private Bank’s graduate program, where I did four six-month rotations around the business.
After completing the program I found a permanent role in the UK Investment Counsellor team. Within 5 months I began taking on my own book of clients and after just over 1 year I began to cover a second region, Israel. In my role, I advise across all asset classes in both public and private markets. Within two and a half years I have worked my way up from Analyst to Vice President .
Prior to joining Citi I attended the University of Birmingham for my undergraduate degree. As an undergraduate I was the recipient of four international scholarships, which enabled me to study in Singapore and China, as well as attend a Social Entrepreneurship and Social Change programme in India and present my independent research on Refugee Movement in times of Crisis, at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. After completing my undergraduate degree I received another scholarship to study a Masters in World Economics and Chinese Studies at Beijing University in China.
My first introduction to banking was at 17, when I was selected to participate in the Social Mobility Foundation’s Aspiring Professional Programme that was ran in partnership with J.P. Morgan. To this day I am extremely grateful for this opportunity as it opened so many doors for me.
