I am a 23-year-old Derby resident who has taken a varied path through education and employment. After completing my education in Derby, I went on to study a BA in Architecture at De Montfort University, where I developed a strong interest in design, problem-solving and the way the built environment can influence people’s lives.

Alongside my studies, I have gained valuable experience working in education as a Behaviour Support and Inclusion Officer. This role has allowed me to work closely with young people, support their development and build skills in communication, leadership, problem-solving and understanding different perspectives.

I am currently working towards returning to my Architecture degree and completing my studies. My long-term goal is to develop a career in architecture, combining creativity and technical knowledge with a focus on creating meaningful and useful spaces for people and communities.
