Guru Shyaam Shankar
I am currently studying a double degree, Bachelor of Actuarial Studies and a Bachelor of Applied Finance at Macquarie University. I’d like to utilise my knowledge to help promote sustainable acts around the world.
PROFILE
Current student at Macquarie University studying a double degree in Bachelor of Actuarial Studies and a Bachelor of Applied Finance, graduating in 2023. I’ve found over the course of my degree there was little to no interest in how to promote sustainable investing or how corporations operate with relation to their ESG. In my spare time, I enjoy playing cricket and soccer on the weekends and hanging out with my friends.
