About 

I graduated with a Master of Architecture degree and Certificate in Building Science from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, and had received my 5-year Bachelors in Architecture degree from Manipal University, India

I have 4 years of International work experience, as an Architectural Designer in Dubai, on projects ranging from large-scale residential developments and mixed-use buildings to commercial and hospitality. Recently I have been diversifying my experience on Healthcare projects as well. In addition, I have also successfully taken on the role of a Site Architect, assisting the site team in executing the project way ahead of the timeline. 

I am enthusiastic about sustainable, context-friendly, innovative, and futuristic Architecture. I am a LEED Green Associate, diving deep into the sustainable aspects of designing and a RIBA International Chartered Member that has assisted me in project and resource management.

I am certain with all of my above experiences and successes, I will be a great asset to any firm. I am a passionate designer with a strong software skill set, analytical ability, practical understanding, creative flair, and technical skills.. I am a highly motivated, hardworking, and diligent individual, ready for challenges and always eager to learn.

I would like to work for a firm that would allow me to enhance my above skills and expose me to new learning opportunities whilst contributing to the firm.
