Before joining Fisher German, I undertook a Master’s Degree in International Planning and Sustainable Development at the University of Westminster. I started working for Fisher German in September 2019 as a member of the General Practice Planning team in the Ashby office. When I first started my role my responsibilities were to assist my line manager and senior colleagues with planning appraisals, attending site visits and preparation of documents to support planning applications. As time went on and my experience grew I was encouraged to take ownership of my own projects and manage them from inception through the planning process. This can be advising on planning strategy, site meetings, preparation of various types of planning applications, representing clients at planning committees and planning appeals. It is a pleasure to work for Fisher German, from my first day I have been welcomed and made to feel like a valuable member of the team whose ideas and contributions are appreciated.
