A highly driven, First-Class Business Management graduate seeking opportunities in admin. One competency I have is leadership through captaining my cricket team at various ages and levels. Another key competence I have is communication through being an NCS Team leader and ensuring it is clear and concise. I am also a resilient individual through my Gold Duke of Edinburgh award, which was mentally and physically draining, but staying focused throughout the process enabled me to persevere and complete the award, receiving it from Buckingham Palace.
