Summary

I am in the early stages of my professional career looking to reach chartered accountancy status as soon as possible, whilst gaining invaluable experience and exposure to the industry along the way. My attitude towards learning and progression is my biggest asset, as I take the utmost pride in my own personal development and the company I represent. I thrive when challenged and believe that this is the best way to become the most valuable version of myself. At this stage, new opportunities excite me because they will provide the foundations for me to achieve both my personal and career goals.
