PROFILE
I am a current BSc Architecture student at UWE Bristol, due to complete my degree in July 2021. I am a hard-working and driven individual with a strong desire to succeed. Throughout my education, I have developed a particular interest in public space and sustainability,
something that I wish to improve my knowledge on as I progress through my career in the built environment. To develop my knowledge of architectural practice further, I am actively seeking a Part 1 Architectural assistant role in order to gain experience in the field. I enjoy being out of my comfort zone and I am eager to learn new things, especially from those already established in the profession.
