Summary
I am a student currently studying law at the University of Plymouth, and seeking to achieve a future career within law. I am currently employed at Castle Air Ltd where I am a junior financial assistant. I am not afraid to work in a pressurised environment which is proven through my employment experiences. I take great pride upon my work and have been told through previous employment that my curiosity takes great strength within my work as I question to find the deeper meaning in order to understand further and complete my work to a greater level.
