Personal Statement 

I have just completed my final year at university, studying BA Honours in Architecture at the Arts University Bournemouth, and am now looking to start my career. I am creative and diligent, making bold designs and clear drawings with CAD software.

Completing work experience in a sizeable architecture practice enabled me to improve my CAD skills and provided insight into how the business operates, affirming my career aspirations. I am keen to utilise and enhance the skills my degree has taught me, delivering high quality work in a timely and professional manner.

I have worked part time in a fast-food restaurant to help support myself through my studies. I am conscientious, reliable, and enthusiastic with a positive attitude; comfortable and confident to work both on my own and as part of a team.
