Over the last two years I have been training on the Teach First Training Programme as a maths teacher. This allowed me to develop strong communication and organisational skills. I am now looking to change careers. I’m looking for a work environment where I will be able to develop expertise and work collaboratively with others to solve problems.

I have worked as a teacher of maths for two years through the Teach First training programme. This involved designing and implementing lessons for KS3 and KS4 students, resulting in improvements in academic performance. I also was responsible for responding to pastoral and safeguarding issues and maintaining contact and open communication with parents. This allowed me to develop skills in communicating ideas and building positive relationships.

I attended University College Longon where I studied towards a qualifying law degree, graduating in 2020 with a 2:1. The modules I took included; Contract law, Property law, Public law, Criminal law, Tort law, EU law, Trusts and Equity, Jurisprudence, Employment law, Family law, Environmental law, and Unjust Enrichment.
