In march of 2009, I graduated from the university of applied sciences in Frankfurt, Germany with a  Bachelor of Arts degree in Architecture. Following my undergraduate studies, I was looking for a working experience abroad. I began my professional career in August 2009 at u+a architectural consultants in Dubai, UAE with the position of junior architect. I was part of the design team and worked on several commercial projects including three shopping malls and a boutique hotel. After the completion of one year working in Dubai, I continued to pursue my graduate degree. I was accepted to study a special graduate degree offered by the Technical University in Berlin, Germany and the Tongji University in Shanghai, China; a double master's degree in Urban Design and Architecture. In june 2012 I successfully completed my two-year graduate degree and I am currently looking to continue my career in the fields of urban design, planning and architecture.
