A creative, dedicated and reliable individual, who is eager to learn and develop skills. I have been fascinated by construction from a very early age and the way we can bring art into the modern world, it is truly inspiring. With a keen eye for detail and a deep commitment to excellence, I am excited to make a meaningful contribution to the world through architecture.
Latest Projects:
Year 2, Semester 1 - Studio Project
Over Semester 1, I was tasked to come up with a new urban strategy for a site in Bristol. It was very interesting because it was a much larger scale that I had never worked at before. I believe that I managed to come up with a strategy that would not only improve the area by also created spaces that would encourage people to come together as a community.
Year 1, Semester 2 - Construction and Technology
During this module, we learnt more about how a building is constructed and also how to draw details. We then had to apply our knowledge to refurbish an old warehouse and develop design plans and details for it. I learnt a lot during a short period of time and thought it was a great learning experience
Year 2, Sem 2 - Architecture Technology
Throughout this module, we explored various themes such as sustainability in architecture, vernacular architecture, and materiality. In addition, my research included a case study on the Knarvik Community Church, examining its architectural features and design elements.

Work Experience
During the summers of 2021 and 2022, I worked for Lavin and Sons Construction Ltd, where my primary responsibilities involved groundworks. I also gained significant exposure to other specialized areas, including bricklaying, carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, roofing, and tiling. Through this experience, I acquired valuable on-site knowledge and developed a comprehensive understanding of the construction industry.

Charitable Work
For the last 8 years, my family and I have been involved with the Birmingham Irish Cycle Appeal (BICA), which is a group of amateur cyclists that complete challenging bike rides to raise money for charity. Since being involved we have collectively raised over half a million pounds for many wonderful causes. I have completed several bike rides including the west coast of Ireland (distance of 600 miles), John O’Groats to Lands End (distance of 1000 miles), and the circumference of Cyprus (distance of 350 miles).
