00_BACKGROUND I am a Part II architectural assistant, gaining both my undergraduate and masters qualifications from the Welsh School of Architecture [Cardiff University]. Working for 18 months each in Haiti and the UK I have a broad experience in various aspects of architectural practice. ​ In Haiti I worked as an Area Shelter Manager and Assistant Programme Manager facilitating the construction of 1300 semi-permanent shelters and 10 primary schools. In the UK I worked as a part of a design team, at Make Architects, working on high end residential and commercial projects including schemes for the 2012 Athlete’s Village and Noho Square. These experiences have given me an acumen for working on live projects and digital and physical modelling. I am also quick to learn new programmes within CAD design. ​ Now based in London, I enjoy the synergy between my design experiences and furthering my knowledge in the intersection of technology and community to produce beautiful, sustainable architecture.
