Proud of myself for jumping in at the deep end with my very first moot. Overall my presentation was okay, although there was some noticeable areas for improvement, such as: eye contact [not looking toward the sky when trying to remember my submissions], confidence when public speaking.

It was a relaxed online experience which helped with nerves. All the participants was supportive and the OULS was great arranging, supporting, judging and providing feedback.   Thank you Patricia Thomson.
