About Michael

Learning how businesses make better decisions.

I am a Business Studies student curious about business, finance, and the reasoning behind sound decisions. My internships have given me practical exposure to international banking, financial assessment, pricing, market research, client-support work, data organization, and regional collaboration.

I enjoy breaking broad questions into structured analysis, communicating the result clearly, and learning from people working across different markets. I am especially interested in banking, business development, relationship management, and analyst roles where curiosity, collaboration, and careful work matter.
