Cassius Westlake

Internship Candidate
London

Summary

Lively and outgoing with a keen interest in languages and sports, I am unafraid of learning new skills and enjoy challenges, knowing that focus and hard work pay off. I am a confident individual who works well alone, but am very people-focused and good at working with others as a part of a team or as a team leader. I am typically recognised for my calmness and clarity in team interactions, which builds trust and engagement with others.
