Now
Studying Business Management at Swansea University and applying for a placement year in finance or HR.
Microsoft showed me how a large company runs, the Reading lab taught me to work carefully with data, and Waitrose taught me to keep things accurate while busy. I'd like to bring both to a finance or people team.
