Summary
I am a highly driven individual with a proactive approach well-suited for taking on roles amongst fellow high-achieving individuals. I am looking to gain experience in the legal field which I hope to move into. My ability to work well in high-pressurised situations demonstrated by doing four A Levels and work well to solve problems both individually and as part of a team makes me believe that the legal industry would not just be something I could do, but something I would really enjoy to do and consequently thrive in.
