Personal Profile I am a highly motivated, dedicated and enthusiastic person with a high level of sucess in my achievements. Ready and eager looking for a new challenge in Construction Industry. I am very passionate individual who is equip with the correct communication skills in order to work well in teams and understand what is needed in design. I played for Oxford Hoops which is a local basketball team in Oxford. I stayed with them for two years and while I was there it helped me to develop upon my team skills, where I was constantly being put in a position whereas I am depending on people and others are depending on me in order for the team to succeed. In 2014 I worked with charity whereby a group of us would go to people trying raise money for our chosen charities. I was very excited for this because of the new challenge that it presented. It helped to become more confident in myself when talking to new people, also helping my team work skills to develop. I hope to one day start my own architectural practice in where I can work overseas in the West Indies where I may be able to help develop the domestic and commercial buildings in the more rural areas.
Skills I am a good landscape drawer and painter. This always helps me to visualise sites in my work and how it would contrast. I also have good communication skill, which helps me work well in teams. I am very good at diffusing awkward situations and have been playing the drums from an early age.
