About

As a final year BSc (Hons) Building Surveying student at Liverpool John Moores, my academic journey is underscored by an unwavering commitment to sustainability in the built environment. The Leeds College of Building honed my foundational skills, leading to an academic scholarship and consistent high performance in key subjects like Property Law and Sustainable Buildings. in January 2022 I conducted a 6 month extended work placement at Morgan sindall, where I shadowed the site management team, learning invaluable skills and insight into the construction process. Engaging with Universiti Malaya during an exchange program in 2024, our group conducted vital research on office space utilization, culminating in a comprehensive revitalization strategy. This experience not only enriched my research skills but also instilled a profound appreciation for collaborative efforts in shaping sustainable urban landscapes.
