Rudra Patel

Currently just finished my final year studies at Coventry university for an economics degree. A friendly highly motivated and hardworking individual who loves problem solving and improving on his weaknesses by self-reflecting during the pandemic as well as studying hard in my modules. The past few years have provided me with excellent teamwork and communication skills as well as the ability to work towards deadlines, gaining both time management and organisational skills. I am looking for an excellent opportunity to help expand my current skills as well as gaining new ones and further my experience.

I enjoy both playing and watching cricket, this has become more than a hobby as I started playing
competitively for Wellingborough Indians cricket club, this really helped expand my team working skills, it also helped me bring out the leader inside of me as I captained my school team. In addition to this I have regularly attended the BAPS temple since 2006. However, this commitment is not only as a devotee, but also as an instrumental volunteer, where I have led and participated in large successful projects. One of these projects involved me designing a four-day youth retreat which educated fellow teens on the key concepts of contemporary Hinduism. I designed a concise timetable and put together material that would be presented. This developed my time management and organisational skills.
