Philip Apea-Adu
About Candidate
Good day
My name is Philip Apea-Adu and I am a results-driven and ambitious Honours in Internal Auditing graduate as well as BCom Accounting graduate from the University of Johannesburg. I possess a strong academic foundation, proven track record of leadership and athletic achievements, skilled in balancing multiple responsibilities, having successfully managed an intensive rugby career alongside rigorous academic pursuits.
In addition to my academic accomplishments, I bring valuable leadership experience through being the captain of the University of Johannesburg Varsity Cup Rugby Team in 2024 and as Deputy Head Boy in 2018 at Louis Trichardt High School. These roles allowed me to hone my communication, teamwork, and decision-making abilities. My experiences as a professional rugby player with the Lions Rugby Company, Valke Rugby Union, and Ghana’s National 15’s and 7’s Rugby Team have also further developed my leadership skills. Balancing a demanding academic schedule with my athletic commitments has sharpened my time management, multitasking abilities, and capacity to perform under pressure.
I am currently pursuing my studies in data analysis through the University of Cape Town as a way to continuously upskill and add value to any organization that is willing to employ me. Seeking an entry-level role in a dynamic and growth-oriented organisation to apply my diverse skill set, strong work ethic, and dedication to further develop my expertise in internal auditing.
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss any potential openings or opportunities that may be available.
Kind Regards
P Apea-Adu
