Finance is the field that involves the management of money and how an individual, company, or government agency acquires and spends money. This field includes activities like budgeting, forecasting and analyzing the complex financial data, which is what attracted me to work in the field. It allows me to use my analytical abilities and my attention to detail.
I regularly draw on my educational background and previous work in the field. My degrees and qualifications are relevant to my current role and complement each other. Business administration and cost engineering qualifications provided me with a great understanding of how business works and some of the best approaches and techniques for analyzing the cost, budgeting and forecasting. My current role involves all these aspects, and it is satisfying to be able to apply the theory and knowledge I learned into practice.
I start my day by checking the email inbox and answering questions and inquiries. Since my role includes many different activities, I create a list of tasks and priorities each day to perform. Most of my work is at the computer, though I have a weekly operational meeting, and calls with staff and faculty as needed to address their concerns.
I enjoy interacting with faculty members, staff, and lecturers. It gives me great satisfaction to answer their questions and sort out any inquiries or issues. Also, I enjoy the fact that my job is engaging and stimulating since it includes many different tasks, such as administering research funds for faculty, making sure the payments are made in a timely manner, budgeting and forecasting, and processing payments and analyzing costs, in addition to unique situations that may arise.
I enjoy intellectual challenges, helping the university achieve its goals, and the prestige associated with the industry. I am excited to work for one of the most prestigious colleges in the country, as well as the fast-paced nature of finance.
I would like to learn how to play the piano. The piano’s sound is so beautiful, unique and powerful. There are so many benefits from learning the piano as it improves your memory, attention, spatial skills, math skills, and even the ability to vocally convey emotion. I have been recommended a good teacher so I am planning to sign up for classes.
I think the stereotype of someone in finance is that they are very methodical and pragmatic, which I am, though I also have a creative side to my personality. I love sewing, cooking, dancing, singing and playing musical instruments.
