SummaryI have recently just graduated from Bangor University with a 2:1 in Law with French. I studied at Bangor for four years, although one of them was at Universite Toulouse 1 Capitole, France. During my time at Bangor, I was a consistent mooter within Bangor University, entering most Mooting competitions that were offered to me including moots on: Criminal Law, Tort Law, Contract Law and Equity and Trusts.

This past year I was elected the role of Master of the Moot meaning it was my responsibility to organise all internal moots within Bangor University. Last year I successfully ran all competitions and have been re-elected to President of the Legal Advocacy Society, so I will retain most of the responsibilities of last year.

I am also the Managing Editor for the online website LegalLoop, a website aimed at providing legal news and advice to students, for example, advise on how to moot or updates in the legal world that will concern students of law. I also assisted with coaching the Jean Pictet Competition and ICC Moot guiding and coaching students on their submissions and teamwork.

I consider myself a determined individual who is hard-working and always appreciates a challenge. I hope to return to Bangor this year to complete my studies in an LL.M specializing in International Intellectual Property Law, International Banking Law, Competition Law and Corporative Governance.

In February 2016, I partook in a four day mini-pupillage at 7 Harrington Street Chambers in Liverpool where I shadowed a Mr Peter Reed in a family law case at the Liverpool Civil Court, I shadowed a Miss Hannah Brookfield in two personal injury cases at the Liverpool Civil Court and finally shadowed a Mr Neil Bisarya over three days in a Criminal trial in the Liverpool Crown Court. I gained experience in all types of advocacy from both the barristers I shadowed and the barristers on the opposition.

Pizza Hut August 2011 – Present

Part time job where I am fully trained in the kitchen. As part of this job, I am required to work to a very high standard, to strict time constraints whilst maintaining a consistent level of quality. During busy times, it is crucial to be extremely organised in order to maintain consistency in the service provided; and the ability to maintain excellent interpersonal skills during times of extreme pressure is equally vital.

Inspired Gaming March 2010Computer company that was responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of touch screen gaming machines in bookies and pubs. It was all handled remotely off-site unless an engineer was required to fix the machine, in this instance it involved phoning up the customer and organizing the engineer’s arrival and fixing of machines.
