Danielle is a JC2 student from Dunman High School, currently ardently preparing for her A levels. That being said, she has hopes to be a mentee in the Advisory Mentorship Programme as she believes it it would give her greater and more personal insight which would aid her in deciding whether the course she is currently interested in (Law) would be a good fit for her. She believes that it is never too early to start thinking and preparing for the future, but there will come a time when it is too late, hence time is of the essence.
She would be deeply humbled and grateful for the opportunity should you select her, and would definitely hope to give back to the Programme in any capacity should she be selected!
