Summary
Third-year Scots Law (LLB) student at the University of Strathclyde, currently achieving first-class grades, and over four years’ experience in a leadership role within a fast-paced professional environment. This demonstrates excellent communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills, with proven ability to manage responsibility and work under pressure. I’m highly motivated to pursue a career in law, with a particular interest in property and commercial law, and keen to gain practical legal experience.
