Personal
Profile
Being
an
adaptable,
charismatic
and
innovative
graduate
makes
me
perfectly
suited
to
begin
a
successful
career
in
any
customer
or
client
based
profession.
I
am
passionate
about
people
and
desire
a
vocation
that
allows
me
to
use
my
skills
and
interests
to
positively
impact
both
my
clientele
and
surrounding
co-­‐workers.
Furthermore,
I
desire
to
develop
my
skills
continually
and
believe
that
hard
work
and
dedication
to
my
occupation
is
fundamental
to
achieve
this.

My
degree
gave
me
the
opportunity
to
develop
in
a
wide
range
of
areas:
• My
passion
to
continually
develop
in
knowledge
and
skill
was
nurtured
by
the
wide
range
of
topics
that
we
had
the
opportunity
to
investigate
in
depth
over
three
years.
• My
capacity
for
innovation
was
encouraged
by
the
opportunity
to
design
our
own
laboratory
experiments
and
to
undergo
self-­‐led
literature
research.
I
was
also
one
of
six
students
elected
to
be
part
of
an
initiative
to
develop
a
cross-­‐disciplinary
module
for
the
Faculty
of
Science
at
my
university
to
be
utilised
in
the
academic
year
2014-­‐2015.
• My
confidence
and
communication
skills
were
improved
through
opportunities
to
present
my
studies
to
my
peers
and
departmental
academics.
• My
ability
to
work
as
part
of
a
team
grew
through
a
variety
of
team
based
projects
as
well
as
through
my
election
to
the
student-­‐staff
council,
where
we
worked
to
improve
the
course
for
further
years
to
come,
and
also
to
the
Learning
and
Teaching
Committee
where
we
worked
to
continually
improve
the
process
of
teaching
and
examination
across
the
whole
Faculty
of
Science.
• My
self-­‐motivation
and
discipline
was
greatly
improved
by
my
desire
to
achieve
academic
success
alongside
the
necessity
to
balance
my
time
across
my
studies,
extra-­‐curricular
dedications
and
hobbies.
