Bio
Buddug Shepherd
Although Jessica and I did not study the same degree, many of our modules overlapped such as business in a Global context. During our lectures and seminars Jessica demonstrated a strong leadership quality and was confident in her abilities. Jessica was able to advise her fellow students on matters regrading accountancy such as audit and tax, of which was essential for her degree. Jessica's excellent degree classification highlights her hard work during the three years at University. As well as this, her numerous work experience in various sectors shows her ability to be flexible and work successfully under different circumstances. It was a pleasure to be able to work with her during our modules and I recommend her as a hard working and bright individual.
