Summary
For 18 years, I competed at the national level in Equestrian Show Jumping. This taught me how to persevere, work hard and perform under pressure. As I move into the next phase of my life I am looking to apply these skills into the legal environment. My experience at the Christchurch Mens Prison honed my interpersonal communication, demonstrating my capacity to collaborate effectively and adapt swiftly to diverse environments. I am now looking for my next challenge to demonstrate my abilities in a professional setting.
