PROFESSIONAL STATEMENT

I am a highly motivated and meticulous individual and pride myself on my problem – solving and communication skills. My academic record and accomplishments demonstrate my passion for anything scholarly, however I also pride myself on my ability to argue, negotiate and debate, exhibited by my time as a Model UN representative and a Moot Court Lawyer. My leadership and organisational skills can best be displayed through my time in the army as a trainer for new recruits and, while at school, as a team leader in the Duke of Edinburgh Award. I pride myself on being an commercially and socially aware individual, who enjoys engaging both in competitive and team projects. EDUCATION
