About Me
I qualified as an Electrical Engineer from Manchester University in 1998. I then trained as an actuary for 4 years, working for 2 large life insurance companies in London. As a result, i have advanced Excel skills, and advanced mathematical and statistical skills.
I then changed career completely, and became a Personal Assistant to the Financial Controller of a large Investment Management company in London.
This job involved creating advanced Powerpoint presentations , speed copy typing, minute taking, diary management, event organising, data entry, etc.
I have advanced Powerpoint skills, Advanced Microsoft Word skills, and advanced Excel skills.
I then worked for a large Private Equity company in London, for one year as an Executive Assistant (secretarial and PA support), and for a further 2 years as a Finance & Portfolio Executive, managing a portfolio of investments. I also therefore have strong experience liaising with clients.
I left work to have a baby and am now working as a freelancer from home.
