Personal Profile I am a motivated, passionate ARB registered Architect with a can-do work ethic and always willing to learn. I consider myself a sociable team-worker with also the ability to work independently. My studies in Spain have provided me a good range of technical skills that have given me the capacity to work at different stages in the development of a project, from its conception to its final details. I am able to multi-task, feeling comfortable with deadlines and working under pressure. I believe that architecture belongs to its time and place, where contemporary can harmoniously coexist with the heritage. The labour of the architect should be to conceive efficient buildings capable to provide pleasure to the five senses of their users and foster communities.
