How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?

In a class we had in school, Architecture catch my attention over the rest. During college, I’ve always had an interest for the environment and sustainability, and being able to design a small impact building is always challenging.

​

What do you do?

Now I am preparing for my ARE, I want to be a regis- tered architect. I help as much as I can with the proj- ects we have in the office. I try to gain more knowl- edge to help me develop as a better professional.

​

What excites you in the work you do?

Being able to put on the table an idea that helps solve project related problems. Learn new things, like soft- ware or professional and practical knowledge.

 

Who or what inspires you professionally?

My wife and my family have always supported me, let- ting them know I won’t let them down keeps me on track. But also working with well-trained professionals encourages me to become a better architect.

 

What is your proudest professional accomplishment or achievement?

To come from a different country and realizing that you’re able to develop and grow both professionally and personally is probably one of the greatest things I can be proud of.
