NEETHU RAVEENDRAN
POSTGRADUATE STUDENT
PROFILE
I am a current postgraduate student at Queen’s University, Belfast, pursuing an MSc in City Planning and Design. Growing up, I lived in various countries and attended multiple schools, always associating myself with numerous people from different backgrounds. This, along with my previous job experience as an architect, helps me to connect with people easily, understand their needs, and provide creative design solutions catering to their needs.
I always strive to constantly engage myself in learning and development, as I believe it is vital to succeeding in life. I am a quick learner, a team player, and efficient in my work, which has been reflected in all my endeavours.
