Barbra Rotich

I have always aimed at bringing meaning out of numbers and seeking more data-driven perspectives believing that data will talk if people are all willing to listen. This has therefore molded and continues to mold me, into an analytical, organized, and detail-oriented individual aspiring to work to a point where I can realize my full potential abilities in Financial Engineering, polygamy of math, information technology and business disciplines, which require a lot of collaborative effort. I am a creative individual offering strong analytical and abstract reasoning skills. Excellent history of managing complex data. Well-versed in business operations, strategic planning and market analysis. Track record of positive academic performance and superior numerical and analytical skills.
