I completed 40 hours of extra-curricular activity to demonstrate I am hardworking and determined. I undertook a course in problem-solving techniques where I learnt ways to effectively brainstorm solutions to a problem, the importance of balancing both intuition and logic, and how to use risk analysis to solve a problem. I completed a workshop on delivering presentations which built my confidence and developed my digital presentation skills using PowerPoint. I went to multiple guest speaker presentations to increase my psychological knowledge and expand my knowledge beyond what is taught in the curriculum. I completed an assessment centre and demonstrated my confidence within interviews, shared my ability to work in a team to solve a problem during a group task and displayed my written problem-solving skills, time-management skills, and attention to detail within a timed written task.
