I have a Business (Hons.) degree and 5 years experience as a Financial Data Analyst. I worked closely with brokers using financial software and databases. I have researched and analysed different financial instruments and corporate actions such as mergers, spin-offs, cash takeovers, right issues, scrip dividends, splits and dividends. I also have an Environmental Science, Management and Legislation MSc and I am currently working part time in two organisations: one to promote environmental sound performance in SMEs and the other to promote more sustainable food systems.
