I am an urban planner dedicated to creating sustainable and equitable urban design that propels communities to success while mitigating climate change.
With four years of experience, I have honed my time-management and organising skills by using checklists to ensure quality work completion and expanded my problem-solving abilities by tackling various problems regarding land accessibility, obtaining approvals and policy writing. I have also cultivated my knowledge and curiosity by keeping up-to-date with urban trends and concepts.
As a lifelong learner, I am constantly developing my abilities for multidisciplinary collaboration.
I am seeking career opportunities in the planning industry in the UK.
