Profile

Finance is a system of
connections. I read the links.

I am completing a Bachelor of Business Administration in Banking and Finance at Beirut Arab University, where my coursework has centred on financial analysis, accounting, corporate finance, banking operations, financial markets and investment fundamentals.

Alongside my degree I have owned and run Lachunga, a clothes retail business in Daraya, since 2021. That experience turned accounting, budgeting and expense control from coursework into daily decisions, and it is where my analytical habits were formed: track the numbers, understand what moved them, act on what they say.

I am now looking for a 2 to 6 month internship in banking or financial services, and I am available to start immediately.

Owning a retail business is not a banking role — but it is where financial responsibility becomes personal. Every duty below appears on my CV, and each one maps onto a capability a finance team uses every day.
