Personal Profile
As a team player with a passion for learning and self-development, I enjoy successfully contributing and achieving as part of a team by developing in accordance of the challenges ahead, as well as adapting to any given environment.
Using the various leadership, communication, creativity, visionary and team working skills from my previous experiences, I was able to achieve the role as Student President in my school/college. I intended on using this position, as well as the capabilities of the student leadership team, to improve the quality of the student experience at this school and make it the best, most effective, and most communal school in every regard, in which I was considered successful with some outstanding and record-breaking achievements from myself, the Head Girl and the rest of the leadership team.
I gain equal personal fulfilment using my own initiative to chase the passions that i care about most; business, culture, and people. I spent 6 months at 18 years old travelling the East Coast of Australia exploring what felt like another world I'd only dreamed about. Whilst I was there the active lifestyle inspired me to begin training for the Edinburgh marathon, which I completed in June of 2024, successfully raising over £1000 for Parkinson's UK. On the business forefront, I try and surround myself with people more knowledgeable than myself for both personal enjoyment and self development. My uncle, Steve Parry, being my go-to as his success in business provides insight that has been an unmatched commodity to me so far in my life. I also take pleasure in self-educating and practically investing within my risk-tolerance.
In short, I thrive on initiative that aligns with my future goals, and those goals have brought me to this CV.
