About

A motivated undergraduate university student seeking a placement position for my third year. I am currently a second-year student, studying an Accountancy and Finance degree at Oxford Brookes University, where I gain extensive insight from lecturers who have worked in the industry.

As a hardworking, reliable, and motivated student, I have an unyielding desire to achieve high standards for independent and team-based work. I am personable, enthusiastic and willing to learn, with excellent communication and analytical skills, together with a keen eye for detail.
