Since leaving Downe House, Sapphire has had a fascinating experience beginning with her long-time passion for Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, which she studied at Oxford.
Aged 16, Sapphire oscillated between wanting to be an Event Rider, Spy or finding a way to win the lottery!
Following her degree at Oxford, she went on to gain her LLM at BPP University Law School and is currently a paralegal at Forsters LLP, en route to completing her QWE and qualifying with them.
Sapphire’s advice is to avoid comparing yourself to others at all costs. “Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s. If you really want to do it, you’ll get there, but perhaps not in the way you had anticipated!”
