Julius Baer Guernsey has selected Emilia Ozanne to be its student bursary recipient this year.
It’s the third consecutive year of the bursary scheme which supports the next generation of talent with work experience and higher education.
Ms Ozanne will receive a grant of £2,500 and the opportunity to gain valuable industry experience during her holidays.
She will be attending The University of Sheffield to study General Engineering this month.
The firm selected her based on her drive and determination, such as finishing first in the league at the Student Robotics competition to her successful career as a junior gymnast.
Ms Ozanne also delivered a presentation on the role of developed nations in the climate crisis for developing countries in her panel interview.
Alexandra McInnes, Managing Director and Head of Julius Baer Guernsey, said: “Emilia thoroughly impressed us during the application process with her presentation on climate resilience. With the support of this bursary, we are eager to see what she goes on to achieve”.
Ms Ozanne added: “I’m really excited to have received the bursary, and it means a lot to be supported by a company like Julius Baer. Knowing that a respected firm sees potential in me has given me a real confidence boost to continue my hard work.
“The chance to gain real-world experience in the financial sector is a fantastic opportunity, and I’m truly grateful to Julius Baer for it.”
