I love a challenge and defining the pursuit to ensure we achieve the objective as both a team member and leader. Throughout my academic journey, I demonstrated unwavering dedication to achieving excellence, actively seeking new opportunities to drive fresh learning and experiences to expand my horizons, insights, and network.

In addition to maintaining a strong academic record, I have pursued my passion for sports, earning recognitions as “Sportsperson of the Year 2015” and securing a “Sports Scholarship 2020-22” at Kings High, Warwick. My drive to excel extends beyond my academic and sports, as evidenced by the following, of which I am very proud:

· Earning the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award.

· Reaching the National Finals of the “Young Enterprise Programme”.

· Securing an A* in my EPQ focused on Sustainability.

· Supporting Marie Curies Development Board fundraising initiatives, 2018-2021.

· Serving as an English Tutor to a local primary school in Warwick.

Further enhancing my leadership skills, I have achieved the England Hockey Coaching Qualification Level 1, which built upon wonderful experience representing Warwickshire County for 5 years. This laid a great foundation, further driving my ambition and ultimately securing President of Leeds University Women’s Hockey Club for 2024/25. This is a significant responsibility developing new organisational skills for club operation and leading team performance and well-being for 350 players.

My commitment to excellence and growth is mirrored in my passion for law. For the past 5 years, I have been very focused on a law career and am very keen to explore various legal career options as a solicitor. I am thrilled to have secured a place at BPP University, where I will be undertaking my LLM Law Conversion with SQE1 in Birmingham, beginning in September 2025.

Since the age of 16, I have consistently secured employment opportunities that have instilled a strong work ethic, enhanced my ability to contribute to team success, and developed skills in customer value creation, satisfaction, financial budgeting, and personal independence.

Through these diverse experiences, I have developed into a confident, conscientious, and driven, focused and ambitious lady with a passion for teamwork, leadership, and building a successful future.
