Summary

I am a highly motivated and hardworking individual, who is currently studying a T-Level Course in Design, Surveying and Planning at Sunderland College City Campus. After passing my exams first year, i am currently in my second year of the course where my final exam will be in May.


Through my college course, I have also been given the opportunity of a work placement at Nexus where I work alongside project managers and quantity surveyors to gain essential experience and skills for when I leave college and progress into a full-time job.


During my free time, I enjoy spending time socialising with my friends and family going out alongside keeping active by going to the gym and occasionally playing football.
