In the complex modern world, personal principles and interests matter. They allow people to navigate through the problems that life throws at them and to turn these experiences into opportunities to grow. My passions are varied and have taken me to a number of different places. After finishing my undergraduate degree in History at the University of Birmingham I have moved to study International Business at the University of Leeds. I have always had a keen interest in both disciplines. At Birmingham I wrote an award winning dissertation on medieval religious culture; an area of study that fascinated me. I am equally engaged in learning about international business theory and the workings of commerce in the modern world. My passions for these things have helped me to perform to the best of my abilities during my academic endeavours. In the future I hope to approach my career with the same manner. My values of honesty and discipline couples with my meticulous nature have helped me develop a number of hand and soft skills that will stand me in good stead. I am resilient, organised and resourceful, possessing excellent written and verbal communication skills. However, I have the desire to mature further. I am still unsure about what industry my career will be in, but whatever industry I enter the end of my masters degree I am hoping that it will help me to continue to grow as a person. Life is not really about the end goal, its about the journey that gets you there and what you learn along the way. Ultimately, in whatever academic discipline I have studied or whatever area of work I have entered, I love to learn.
