About

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management from CEDEU (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos), where I received the Academic Excellence Award for achieving the highest academic record in my graduating class. I am currently pursuing the Master in Finance at CUNEF Universidad, specialising in Investment Banking, with the programme taught entirely in English.

During my experience at BNP Paribas, within the Financial Security department, I worked on transaction and alert analysis, client information reviews and report preparation, gaining experience in data analysis and transaction assessment within a regulated financial environment.

I am now deepening my knowledge of company valuation, financial modelling, corporate finance and financial markets, while preparing for the CFA Level I exam. My goal is to continue developing professionally in corporate finance and investment banking.
