My academic qualifications demonstrate my ability and also my dedication. Having studied mostly via distance learning I have been responsible for my own education and learning, which has involved time management skills, organisation, and motivation to continue to learn.
I lack work experience due to circumstances beyond my control, so have used my time to focus on my education, and developing my expertise.
I volunteer with organisations to be useful, develop my skills, and advance my understanding in multiple fields. In combination with managing my further education, such work has taught me to work well independently and as part of a team.
