PERSONAL STATEMENT

I turn 21 in June this year and I’m currently studying Architecture at University in Liverpool. I have shown a very enthusiastic interest in architecture and the built environment from a very early age and have a strong desire to succeed in this industry. I’m now about to fi nish my 3rd year, with the intention of completing the total 7 years required to become a RIBA qualifi ed Architect. I consider myself to be hard working, creative, and ambitious, but with a sensible work/life balance. I am currently seeking a work placement opportunity for one year before hopefully starting my Masters degree in September 2023. I also intend to establish a long-term connection with one of Birmingham’s leading architecture practices with the prospect of a future full-time opportunity.

ACHIEVEMENTS

PERSONAL INTERESTS

I have a variety of interests ranging from building computers all the way to participating in many diff erent sports. I’ve played tennis for over 12 years and represented my school in tournaments for 4 years which shows dedication and resilience.

I also enjoy playing team sports such as Rugby and I went to South Africa to, again, represent my school; which helped me to develop skills in teamwork and further develop as a person from experiencing the diverse cultures of a developing country. One of my main interests are computers and technology as I spend a lot of my time building computers and creating circuits just for the enjoyment of it. I also attended the army cadets for over a year which was incredibly fulfi lling, changed me as a person and made me become more disciplined.
