About me

Let me introduce myself

Hi, I'm Angelica!

I’ll teach you the mechanics of the financial markets —
giving you the tools to analyse them independently.

The corporate years

11 years analysing credit risk from the inside out.

  1. Graduate
  2. Risk Associate
  3. Risk Analyst
  4. Senior Risk Analyst
  5. Risk Manager
  6. Head of Client Credit Risk

My job isn’t to predict market movements — it is to evaluate structural risk across thousands of instruments daily:

  • Stress-testing markets through earnings misses, downgrades, and market crashes.
  • Monitoring portfolio violations against corporate risk limits.
  • Managing financial leverage across 15k+ financial instruments worldwide.

BEYOND THE TITLE

Still the student, not just the teacher.

Head of Client Credit Risk is where I am — not where I stop.

I'm currently studying financial crime, with wider compliance next on my list, as I work towards becoming a Chief Risk Officer in the next five years.

Alongside that, I'm building my own personal brand: turning 11 years of insider experience into something that helps other women learn and invest with confidence.

ON MY SHELF RIGHT NOW

Part of that ongoing learning happens on paper.

I read to sharpen my own thinking — and to see the markets through someone else's lens.

Old-school proof that understanding a business beats reacting to its chart.

Life Beyond the Markets

  • Endurance TrainingWhether running, cycling, or hiking, I love pushing my limits. Building physical endurance reinforces the exact mindset needed for long-term investing: motivation gets you started, but consistency carries you across the finish line.
  • TravellingFrom exploring Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to swapping coconut iced coffee for matcha, I love discovering new cultures and seeing how different parts of the world operate.
  • Plant Based CookingI love testing out vegan and vegetarian dishes to fuel an active lifestyle—much like portfolio building, it's all about understanding the core ingredients to get the right balance!
