Profile
I have recently completed my Masters in Architecture at Manchester School of Architecture and am looking to develop my career further as an architect. Throughout my Postgraduate degree, I focused my thesis and research lead work on designing for dementia, with particular interest on how the build environment can drastically effect the cognitively impaired. I have a demonstrated history of working within the residential, commercial and industrial building sectors. I am both organised and creative with excellent communication skills resulting in great teamwork.
