Summary
I am a multilingual individual proficient in Romanian and taking GCSEs in French and Spanish, with a strong foundation in foreign language fluency and conversational skills. I demonstrate leadership through active involvement in school clubs and leading a team. I value inclusivity and diversity and show this through volunteering at nursing homes and participating in cultural awareness events. I am skilled in public speaking, with a proven track record of meeting deadlines as well as being punctual across academic and extracurricular activities. I am an enthusiastic person with a focus on learning about the medical/biochemical fields in order to gain an understanding of and build the foundations of my future career. I seek out opportunities to go beyond basic course material and gain deeper understandings or hands-on experiences.
