I studied BSc Accounting at QUB, achieving a first class honours degree. Whilst at QUB, I was awarded prizes from both the Faculty and the Business School - the Helena Wallace Scholarship, individual module prizes, and awards for coming top of my year. Being selected for the KPMG Scholarship Programme provided me with a great insight into the professional services firm through the combination of mentoring and work-experience. After such a rewarding and positive experience, I joined KPMG Tax in Belfast. As a competitive swimmer, I have represented Ards, QUB and Ulster at various national, varsity and interprovincial competitions. I was also elected to serve as Vice Captain and Treasurer of the QUB Swimming, Waterpolo and Lifesaving Club.
