In my most recent internship at Scotiabank, I provided essential support to the Chief Operating Officer in managing their daily responsibilities. Over the span of six months, I took a leadership role in a significant initiative that successfully addressed and resolved a critical audit concern. This involved overseeing the comprehensive regulation of files with financial and operational risks across all 24 divisions of the bank. Throughout the project, I maintained daily communication with divisional heads, ensuring seamless project execution and enhancing overall communication effectiveness. Utilizing advanced Excel modeling and Power BI, I created insightful visualizations for reporting project progress and outcomes to key stakeholders on a bi-weekly basis. Through my involvement in this initiative, I cultivated a profound passion for project management and tasks centered around strategic planning. Witnessing the project through to completion, while simultaneously making a tangible impact on the organization, solidified my appreciation for the complexities and rewards inherent in successfully navigating multifaceted projects.

I actively contributed to the prospecting efforts and collaborated closely with a managing director while jointly engaging in the identification and cultivation of a prospective client with a substantial financial worth exceeding $100 million. In addition to my technical expertise, I have established and maintained strong relationships with clients, through my ability to provide exceptional service and guidance to ensure long-term financial success.
