Joana Amaral
Third-year Finance Student, minor in Wealth Management
Lisbon, Portugal

Having grown up between Portugal and Angola and attended international schools, I’ve learned how to build community anywhere and connect with people from a wide range of backgrounds. That global perspective is a big reason I’m drawn to Wealth Management: an industry where trust, communication, and long-term relationships are just as important as analytical thinking. I’m especially interested in working with global clients and helping simplify complex financial decisions into clear, practical next steps. Before switching to finance, I studied sport science, and I’m still deeply passionate about athletics and performance as I’ve been a swimmer for most of my life, teaching me a great deal of discipline. I now look forward to helping people achieve their financial goals instead of their fitness ones.
