The leader of the firm’s portfolio of community, culture and education projects emphasises the social and environmental responsibility of her job and the importance of doing work that you enjoy

Why did you choose construction as a career?

At a young age I was particularly interested in art, geography, science and engineering. Studying architecture gave me the opportunity to explore all these subjects in a creative way that was grounded in the environment. It was not until I had completed a work experience placement that I really saw it as a career option.

Since becoming a practising architect I have discovered that what I learnt at university is just the tip of the iceberg. There is a social and environmental responsibility to our industry. I enjoy exploring the people-side of the role, really exploring a client’s needs. Seeing a solution materialise is very rewarding!
