A first year university student studying philosophy at the University of Cambridge and a keen, quick learner. Possesses a great interest in the ethics side of the philosophy undergraduate course, and is intrigued to see the ways in which it could apply to the working world. Holds great experience in teamworking and customer service, from both volunteering and working roles, and wishes to develop the additional leadership skills gained from this work through further experience in professional environments.

• I am a committed climber, and spent a large part of my childhood completing a NICAS climbing course. Climbing is a sport that requires problem solving, attention to detail, teamworking, and incredible responsibility; most of the time you are holding your climbing partners life in your hands. Once I progressed to become a qualified lead climber on my course, I helped teach some of the younger climbers just progressing into lead climbing, instructing them on how to handle the ropes and follow rules to stay safe.
• During my first term at university I wrote for the student newspaper, Varsity. Writing articles involved research and communication with the other students of the university in order to present the most accurate representation of their attitudes within my work. It also aided me in progressing my professional writing skills, showing me the method of prose I needed to use to construct a good article.
