Accomplishments

    Duke of Edinburgh Award

    In order to achieve this award, I had to help my local community. I volunteered at my local dance school helping the teacher train the young girls in their ballet classes and develop new skills, which was very rewarding. I also had to learn how to navigate and read maps, which I found hard at first, but I will never shy away from a challenge!

    Completing this award allowed me to engage and interact with people I wouldn't normally, thus building my teamwork skills. Having this experience inspired me to travel and at the age of 18 I travelled Australia and South East Asia(for the first time). I am lucky that I have found an incredible balance with travelling and, pursuing my legal career. I currently study part time, online for my Law Degree.
