Summary

I am a confident, personable and broad-minded person and have a desire to work in a competitive business driven space. My A-level studies of Economics, Geography and Business accommodate a broad way of thinking and are supported by my LIBF Certificate in Financial Studies which adds a further mathematical element to my academia. I captain the school rugby team which has developed my skills of leadership, communication, and accountability, whilst also playing scrum half at the Leicester Tigers academy, which has taught me physical resilience, mental fortitude and the importance of preparation. I feel as though I can develop my existing skills and build new skills if selected to work and study with your firm.
