Dedication, self motivation, and organisation were required to achieve a Frist Class Honours degree in BA Architecture from The University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University as a joint course.
Being part of Manchester and Salford University Air Squadron required high levels of discipline, confidence, and integrity in order to pass the interview, selection and fitness tests required to join. In this role I won a £10,000 award for an overseas biking expedition in Canada which I planned and presented to the RAF, this required a good attention to detail, a great deal of planning and collaboration.
Saving for, organising and completing a two week climate change volunteer placement in Indonesia when I was 16 required confidence to push myself outside my comfort zone. Teaching school children climate change lessons also required confidence, calm and an ability to build rapport.
Having played rugby for 15 years and coached younger players, I learnt skills of team work, leadership and recognising individuals’ strengths and development needs.
Finally receiving the prestigious, international nomination for the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Bronze Medal Award from Manchester School of Architecture demonstrates a passion and motivation for doing the best job I can do – whatever I do.
