I have worked as such in many different fields and industries (law, finance, tourism, communication technology and music) within the United Kingdom.

I am an enthusiastic, sociable, reliable and mature person who has the ability to build good relationships with work partners. Throughout my academic and professional experiences abroad I have been capable of adapting and integrating successfully into the British, Irish and Dutch society.

Furthermore I am a determined and conscientious individual who achieves great goals through perseverance and dedication. I possess excellent verbal and written communication skills which enable me to communicate effectively at all levels. One of my greatest assets is my ability to manage significant workloads through time management and organisation.

Moreover I have successfully completed a three year law degree and I have graduated with a solid Upper Second-Class Honours (2:1) at the School of Law of the University of East London. Amongst many invaluable skills, my academic achievements have especially taught me to approach complex problems from different viewpoints and resolve them in the most effective way, to prioritise my own work to deadlines and to negotiate successfully with people across a wide spectrum of different areas.

Moreover, having travelled to many different countries (Germany, Greece, Spain and Sweden amongst others), I have learnt to understand and appreciate people from different cultures, backgrounds and walks of life.
