Summary

From leading a charity dinner for 150 guests at just 15 years old to cross-examining witnesses in mock trials at University College London, I have always thrived when stepping outside my comfort zone. Energetic and positive by nature, I bring the same enthusiasm to every challenge whether that involves balancing a demanding law degree with professional work at Psychiatry UK or leading a sales team in the fast-paced telecommunications sector. My journey so far has shaped me into a resilient, driven individual with strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for personal and professional growth. I am now looking to bring my experience, confidence, and ambition into a role where I can continue to develop and make a meaningful impact.
