An LLB student at the Open University, I am now seeking work in the legal profession to complement my studies and pursue an exciting career change.As a national award-nominated football journalist, I have spent the past decade and a half developing and honing a skillset that goes beyond writing alone. It's about relationship management, developing trust, handling confidential or off-record information sensitively, conveying complex ideas simply and effectively, attention to detail, the ability to hit tight deadlines even in high-pressure environments, and an all-round hard-working, independent, analytical approach to work.From a previous role, I also hold a CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting, which I completed having worked my way up from administrative assistant to executive PA and finally finance manager at a software development SME, reflecting both my work ethic and my exceptional spreadsheet skills.
