Skills
I am 22 years of age and have just finished undergraduate Architecture degree at university. Over the past eight months I have been working for an architectural design firm in Windermere, working on a variety of small scale and large-scale projects. The Architecture course itself was very demanding of my time during semesters, because of the sheer volume of work, but I believe that the experience itself has helped me develop a clearer attitude and determination for work. I strive to get the best out of my ability and do my best to encourage other colleagues to achieve their potentials. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time during the work experience, but am looking now for some summer work. I am a very caring and an understanding individual who always tries to please in any areas of work or social. My best qualities are my ability to listen to others and understand their needs, while working to the best of my ability. I have a real passion for any content with the construction industry and strive to provide the best from my education and experiences.

I got offered a job during the summer break from university at a local building society. Even though I was only their a brief while, I believe I made some great friendships with my work colleagues. I got the job down to an excellent interview and was described by the General Manager as "the best part time staff we have ever had, if his career in Architecture doesn't work out, he could make a career in the financial department."

Education
University of Central Lancashire. MArch
​2013 - present
I have just started my Masters in Architecture at UCLan. Once again we are part of the cohort year and are not only aiming for accreditation with the governing bodies, but creating a lasting impression on the schools already thriving Architecture course.
University of Central Lancashire. Undergraduate Architecture
​2009-2012 BA(Hons) Architecture
I completed my Architecture undergraduate degree with a 2:2. I was dissappointed as I felt I should have been awarded higher considering the effort I maintained in third year. Achieving a 58 overall further added to my disappointment, but I felt this was just the start of my learning curve in Architecture.
