Summary

I'm a first-year Law student with a strong work ethic and proven ability to manage time effectively, ensuring reliability in high-pressure environments. I have demonstrated exceptional people skills and teamwork in past employment. My passion for becoming a solicitor stemmed from interactions with those in the legal field at networking events, most recently at a BPP in-practice session in Leeds with a panel of trainee solicitors. Furthermore, I was a competitor in a university advocacy competition of which my team won - as the legal litigator, I prepared our witness for the mock trial, which was extremely successful and confirmed my desire to be working directly with clients.
