About

As a BSc Mathematics with Economics student at LSE, I take a data-driven approach to financial markets, with interests across equity research, sales & trading, and wealth management.I’ve gained experience in asset management, markets, and project finance through internships at Allianz Global Investors, Jane Street and GFI Group—developing skills in quantitative analysis, market research, and communicating insights under pressure.My academic background provides a strong quantitative foundation, which I apply to evidence-based research and market analysis. Beyond academics, I serve as Treasurer of the LSE Albanian Society, managing budgets, sponsorships and organising events, helping grow a vibrant student community.
