Summary

Originally from Azerbaijan and having spent several years in St. Petersburg, I completed my degree in Business Administration at Bilkent University, specializing in Management. My studies provided a solid foundation in Marketing, Accounting, and Finance, reinforcing my ambition to build a career in these fields.

As a finance professional at Ziraat Bank Azerbaijan OJSC, I gained hands-on experience in credit risk management and financial analysis. I contributed to informed credit decisions, monitored portfolios, and supported regulatory compliance through strong analytical and communication skills.

During my academic journey, I developed a keen interest in finance and auditing, completing key courses such as Financial Accounting, Corporate Finance, and Financial Statement Analysis, which deepened my expertise and practical understanding of the financial sector.
