Summary
Recent Law (LLB) graduate from the University of Edinburgh with a strong attention to detail and a genuine passion for fashion and design. I bring well-developed analytical and administrative skills from my academic work and professional experience, alongside a proven ability to manage data, meet deadlines, and maintain accuracy in fast-paced environments. With a long-term interest in the legal side of the fashion industry, I am keen to gain hands-on experience within a buying team to build a deeper, commercial understanding of how the industry operates.
