ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
My Studies
A good education is a well-rounded one. When it comes to learning, I know that this is not just restricted to traditional academic institutions. As a professional in my field, I have had the opportunity to learn from all kinds of sources, including mentors, colleagues and even from those who are not in my field at all. All of this has helped me become the person I am today, which is why I hold it in such high regard.

Interacted with area stakeholders and residents for input that was applied to our project vision.
