Participated in a 4-day course that taught me the role a lawyer plays as a business adviser to clients and specific methods to identify key concepts in corporate meetings. This course taught me how to prioritise key information and present it in a compelling way. Also was shown how to review emails and identify any issues the client should be aware of before meetings further developing my problem-solving skills. This role also highlighted the importance of letter writing skills and communicating information effectively.

Worked Front of House of Soho Theatre, welcomed guests into the theatre and worked the till for individuals wanting to purchase tickets. This helped develop my confidence and my people-skills allowing me to become more friendly and welcoming towards customers. This role helped further develop my problem-solving skills by discreetly solving issues that occurred throughout the workday. Also detecting cues as to when a customer needs help or needs advice was another valuable skill I developed.
