Summary

I am an enthusiastic Real Estate and Management graduate with a 2:1 BSC degree from Oxford Brookes University and a level 3 certificate in domestic energy assessment . I am looking to start my career in building surveying with the ambition to complete my APC in the future. I believe that I would be a good fit at Workman LLP as a graduate building surveyor because I am organised, diligent and very eager to further my knowledge in the commercial property sector.
