I have completed a Bachelor of Science in Business and Management with Integrated Industrial/Professional Training degree program at Aston University, achieving a 2:1 - 0.5% off a First Class Honours. I opted to focus my studies around Marketing and Business Psychology & HRM as it compliments not only my skill set, but also my passion within the realms of business. I achieved a mark of 80% in my Final Year HRM exam. I also participated in a 12 month Industrial Placement. Due to the success of the 12 month period, I was offered a position that would extend my stay with the company throughout my final year of university and beyond.
