Summary

I am a recent University of Leeds Business Management graduate with a first class honours. I am currently working at Deloitte as a Tax Analyst, looking for a career change to a more people oriented, business role.


I completely thrive in team environments, with excellent people skills drawn from my experience as a football team captain and leader.


During my time at Deloitte, I have developed as a professional, working in a fast paced environment with tight deadlines in a large multinational firm, even receiving an outstanding contribution award. However, after my time at the firm I have realised that my strengths are better suited to a more creative, people focused role that I can be truly engaged with.
