Personal Statement:
I am an outgoing individual, who is highly motivated to push to the limit in every task I undertake. I consider myself a problem solver, and take great pride in my work. I enjoy going to the gym, watching football, and listening to music. My architectural passion derives from wanting to change things I see, and put my own stamp on buildings. My team playing skills are evident in group activities and I am a keen contributor when placed in these situations.
