Tom van Boxel-Woolf

I pride myself on my outgoing nature alongside my dedication, adaptability, and robust work ethic. I lend myself well to teamwork thanks to refined communication skills and a ready grasp of new ideas and processes, without compromise on the attributes necessary to individual excellence: resilience, equanimity, and initiative. I speak French fluently (non-native) and have experience with data analysis, coding, and accounting software (R Studio, Microsoft Excel, MRI). I am currently studying for a BA in French and Linguistics, with a prediction of 1st Class Honours.
