CV (Curriculum Vitae) / Résumé
Since my university studies, I have clearly demonstrated responsibility and dedication to work within a variety of roles, spanning the various areas of Office Support, Education, Architecture & Design, and International Business.
It is worth highlighting that I have worked for more than 7 years at various levels in the Architectural industry both during my studies and after completing my Architect degree. As reflected in my CV, I began assisting a team of Urban Planners in the Public sector before progressing from Architectural Assistant to Project Architect in a private multidisciplinary practice. Moreover, for the past year I have been based in Barcelona, Spain working as a Project Architect for a local practice specialized in developing Public Educational Buildings. In addition to my professional experience, my career has also expanded into the academic field as an Assistant Lecturer in Architectural Design and Representation for both private and public Universities.
These valuable experiences have afforded me the opportunity to develop my skills such as outstanding interpersonal communication at all levels, analytical and problem solving ability, accurate with an eye for detail, ability to work within tight deadlines and in several tasks at the time, computer literacy, a fast learner with excellent retention, proven leadership, and the ability to work as an effective team member or independently as required.
