Deborah Akinbile

I am a dedicated Philosophy student at Queen's University, passionate about critical thinking, problem-solving, and ethical reasoning. I am seeking a summer job position where I can apply my analytical skills, attention to detail, and strong communication abilities. My academic background has equipped me with a unique perspective and the ability to approach challenges thoughtfully and creatively. I am eager to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to a dynamic team this summer.

With a diverse background spanning various industries, I have cultivated a versatile skill set through my experiences since 2019. From my time at Bath and Body Works and Home Depot, I honed my customer service and sales abilities, ensuring exceptional shopping experiences and product knowledge. Transitioning to the hospitality sector, I further expanded my repertoire at Rainforest Cafe, mastering teamwork and efficiency in a fast-paced environment.

Additionally, my roles in admissions at two prominent parks, Wet n Wild in Brampton and Marineland in Niagara Falls, equipped me with strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and proficiency in ticket sales and pass processing. These cumulative experiences have not only enhanced my adaptability but also instilled in me a dedication to delivering outstanding service in every role I undertake.

Currently enrolled at Queen's University, I am pursuing a degree in Philosophy with a keen interest in law as my future career path. As I approach my final year at Queen's, I have delved into rigorous coursework that has sharpened my critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and argumentation skills, all vital for a successful legal career. Beyond academics, I am actively engaged in the Queen's community as a member of the executive team of QBSS (Queen's Black Sister Society), where I contribute to fostering inclusivity, empowerment, and support for marginalized voices.

This holistic education, blending academic rigor with practical involvement, positions me well to pursue my aspirations in the legal field while making meaningful contributions to society.
