Profile
I’m a well-rounded student in my final year at Nottingham Trent University studying Physics with forensic
applications. Being at University has broadened my knowledge in numerous fields as well as my ability to work
both individually and as part of a team. I have gained invaluable experience in customer service by working
with a wide range of people as a customer assistant for a large and respectable company since aged 17. I am
now looking for a new challenge within Finance where I can develop my existing skills and build a long and
successful career.
