My academic journey has been complemented by meaningful work experiences that have shaped my professional growth and prepared me for the world of finance.
Work Experience
*During my studies, I worked as a tutor with Tomorrow Trust (2022–2024), where I assisted Grade 8 and 9 learners with Mathematics. This role strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and practical manner. It also instilled in me a sense of responsibility and the importance of contributing to the success of others.
Why Degree in Finance/Commerce
My decision to pursue accounting was motivated by a passion for numbers, analysis, and the critical role financial management plays in every organization. I wanted to build a career that combined my analytical strengths with my interest in business operations, and accounting provided the perfect foundation.

Through persistence and preparation, I secured a pre-internship at WGH Chartered Accountants, where I am currently serving as a finance intern. At WGH Chartered Accountants, I am gaining valuable exposure to financial reporting, auditing, and compliance. The firm is committed to excellence and provides a supportive environment where interns are encouraged to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully. This experience has allowed me to apply my academic knowledge in real-world scenarios while developing practical skills that will serve me throughout my career.
