ABOUT ME
A conscientious and ambitious architecture professional, I have completed my studies at the Architectural Association in London and have earned an AA Diploma along with my RIBA parts 1 and 2. I have recently been awarded my RIBA part 3 qualification and subsequently registered with the Architect's Registration Board in the UK. While working in the UK, Jordan, and the UAE, I have been involved in all RIBA work stages, and have shown strength and interest in post concept stages and project delivery.
My wide range of experience has helped me grow my ability to multitask, and am now able to work more efficiently in all stages and with different teams. I am always eager to learn and grow from my work and my colleagues, and as a result have shown great attention to detail and exceptional diligence in my work. I have been given several opportunities to lead projects, both in early and in later design stages, and have shown great ability to coordinate with consultants and project teams in the delivery of high quality documentation and projects. I have also developed my communication skills over the years of managing both internal and external project teams.
Outside of project work, I have been involved in digital practice groups at Gensler and Perkins and Will, and have always been interested in exploring new digital platforms and innovative solutions that aid in project delivery and construction. I also enjoy organising office wide social events with my colleagues.

I was a core team member on two other hotel projects: Movenpick hotel and resort in Ras Al Khaimah (currently under construction) where I was an active member since Concept Design, and Vida Hotel and Serviced Apartments in Bahrain (currently under construction) where I led a team of four to deliver a fully coordinated Technical Design package.
Additionally, I helped create a Digital Discussion group within the office to discuss BIM related issues. Furthermore, I worked closely with the Technical Director to draft a full set of technical details and schedule templates to be used throughout the office.

I initiated a Digital Design group to organise digital resources at the office. I also delivered a research grant proposal within the company, focusing on re-thinking life patterns as soundscapes.
