Undertook some temporary cover work, while completing my master's degree. This included 3 days covering reception at Box.com, and 2 days working at Oakley Capital, a private equity firm. Both jobs required me to quickly adapt to new work environments and to conduct various administrative tasks such as booking in meetings, handling emails, updating client records and answering phone calls. I also greeted incoming visitors and staff and provided friendly assistance.

Undertook a month internship assisting the IP & Legal Affairs Manager at CropLife Europe (Alessio Ghiani). During my time there I learnt about the EU Legal Framework and government decision-making processes. As part of my internship, I was then tasked with putting together a briefing note on the EU Data Act for the Legal Expert Group. This internship provided me not only with a range of new knowledge but also gave me first hand experience into working in a fast-paced office environment.

Volunteered as a charity representative for the school’s “Best of Both” Charity. Actively promoted the charity's mission, and monitored the charity's progress. Additionally, our team organised meetings with head teachers and provided valuable observations as to how to enhance the charity's image.
