My name is Brigita Kristo and am currently studying Master of Applied Finance at Western Sydney University upon receiving a scholarship for my previous academic achievements. I have also received five awards from the University inviting me to the special Honours Programme as I ranked amongst the top 2% students, followed by the Excellence Certificates. Most of my life I have spent in Croatia where I wanted to become a doctor, however passion for Economics and Finance got the best of me and I decided to move to Australia and complete two degrees doing something I enjoyed. Upon completion of the Master degree I would like to pursue a career in finance and economics, with the emphasis on investment banking and economic/ financial modelling. I am currently working as an intern data analyst in a start-up company in St Leonards, Sydney where I have further developed on my skills in finance.
