Hi! I’m Xiuqi (Cara), originally from China, currently studying Economics and Finance.
In the short term, I’m aiming to become a credit risk analyst, as I’m really interested in financial analysis, risk assessment, and understanding how markets work behind the scenes. I’m still exploring and building my path step by step — that’s part of the journey!
Outside of academics, I’m big on self-improvement. You’ll probably find me at the gym, working on building both physical and mental strength. I also love watching American TV series — fun fact: I used to dream about becoming a cop in Los Angeles (yes, influenced by TV 😄).
As an international student, I understand how exciting and overwhelming university life can feel. Whether you have questions about studying Econ & Finance, adjusting to uni life, or planning your career direction, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to share my experience!

Hi there ! I am Yashil, a 3rd year Bsc Economics and Econometrics student with future career aspirations within the financial industry.
Being Indian descent, I enjoy watching both north and south Indian movies with my favourite actors being: SRK, Allu Arjun and Thalapathy Vijay. I think it's important to embrace your culture and having attended cultural society events, this has been a fantastic opportunity for me.
I have a passion for fitness and without fail aim to schedule citysport gym sessions around my university timetable and this has significantly improved both my physical and mental well-being.
My other side-hobbies includes researching the latest and greatest developments in technology by watching content from youtubers such as: MKBHD & Mrwhosetheboss.

I'm a passionate student eager to connect with prospective students, especially those interested in life in London and fields like finance, economics, and business. I studied Maths, Economics, Spanish, and EPQ at A-level.
Having grown up in Birmingham, moving to London for university has been an incredible journey. It’s given me the chance to immerse myself in the city’s diverse culture, dive into its vibrant student life, and navigate the challenges of living independently. I’d love to share my experiences, offer advice, and help others make the most of their time in this amazing city. Feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to chat!
