Enthusiastic Still a new entrant to the corporate world with the desire to work and leave a tangible footprint whenever possible through creative and driven approach. Found to be both the missing element of all situations or the sore thumb that is sticking out but none of that impacts the work efficiency due to inherently strong belief in getting the job done by any means necessary. Looking for a position which constantly challenges and becomes a learning endeavor. Ideally, looking for a job role which allows to flex creative mind in a more structured and analytical/quantitative position, preferably in front office or research end of finance industry.
