I have completed my Bachelor and Master Degrees in Architecture at Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University. Currently pursuing Part 3/DipArch, post-graduate course, final step into becoming a fully qualified architect. I am a communicative, highly motivated, enthusiastic and hard-working individual, with a hands-on approach, wishing to extend my knowledge, experience and go beyond limits.
Moreover, I am an easily adaptable individual, open towards testing new, international world areas as I find each one of them as a valuable, worth while and essential experience.
My passions and interests extend beyond architecture, as I think that every little thing counts in both my personal and professional evolution. I enjoy music and dancing being a lyric soprano singer, theater performer, choreographer and design/music/dance teacher in my free time. I also enjoy practicing different sports, especially winter ones like skying, snowboarding, ice skating, as I believe in the saying "Healthy mind in a healthy body'.
Computer programmes and softwares are also a passion of mine as I always like to learn new tools that help me evolve and extend my knowledge.
