I am a UK-based Real Estate Development MSc candidate with hands-on experience in residential property management and client-facing roles across multiple sectors. I have led youth programs as a Barracudas Group Leader, supported property maintenance and regulatory compliance as a Property Management Intern, and volunteered internationally to deliver water, sanitation, and education initiatives. I bring disciplined teamwork, cross-cultural communication, and a strong academic foundation in real estate finance, planning, and sustainability to any project. Outside work, I love travel and cultural exploration, with backpacking across Central America, Asia, Oceania, Hawaii, and living in Australia. I enjoy designing and developing boutique hospitality concepts, and I am pursuing a career that blends development, design, and sustainability. I am fluent in English and comfortable collaborating with diverse teams in fast-paced environments.
