    A BIT ABOUT ME...
    Growing up in London has shaped my appreciation for the balance between simplicity and chaos in city life. However, I am now eager to step beyond this lifestyle and immerse myself in the diverse cultures of the world—a goal that feels even more urgent after the constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    I’m currently on a gap year, traveling through South America, seeking opportunities to combine my academic background and personal passions with hands-on experience. I recently graduated with a first-class Master’s degree in Architecture from the University of Edinburgh, where I developed a deep understanding of sustainable design, heritage preservation, and creative problem-solving. Now, I’m excited to put my skills into practice by contributing to real-world projects, learning about sustainable living, and engaging with local communities.

    South America represents both a thrilling adventure and a challenge, but I’m ready to embrace it wholeheartedly. I look forward to learning from different cultures, working alongside other WorkAwayers, and building meaningful connections.

    WHAT I BRING
    As a WorkAwayer, I offer a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to adapt to any task—be it physical or social. I thrive on challenges, thanks to my competitive spirit, and I’m motivated to learn and grow through every experience.

    Whether it's helping with architectural projects, building, or other tasks, I approach every opportunity with enthusiasm and care. My photos reflect the places I’ve explored across Europe, both independently and with friends, showcasing my adventurous and curious nature.

    AN EXCHANGE
    Through WorkAway, I hope to exchange skills, stories, and experiences with people from all walks of life. This journey is not just about seeing new places but about gaining a deeper understanding of the world and leaving a positive impact wherever I go.

  • More details about your skills

    I’m ambitious, hardworking, trustworthy, and open-minded, with a positive, hands-on approach to everything I do.

    Through my architecture studies and professional experience in London, I’ve gained skills in designing building structures, creative problem-solving, and teamwork. I thrive on hard work and perseverance, bringing an adaptable and practical mindset to any project.

    Beyond academics, I’ve developed leadership and coaching skills by captaining sports teams, organising activities and even captaining England’s national rounders team! These experiences taught me how to motivate others and foster a positive team spirit.

    I also have experience caring for people of all ages, from babysitting children to supporting elderly individuals with disabilities. Plus, I love cooking and sharing good food with friends—it’s one of my favourite ways to connect with others.
