About

Studying to become a Town Planner, my key areas of interest include urban sustainability and new urbanism, strategic planning, development assessment, heritage conservation, and more. I have a background in sales and estimating within the construction industry. Through my career origins, I developed an interest in expanding upon my knowledge of the residential and commercial sector, towards a larger view of Planning and creating healthy and sustainable communities for cities and towns. It is through the above acquired knowledge that I am pursuing my career in town planning. I hope to begin my career within local, state, or federal government to develop a broad foundation of knowledge, then proceed into private consultancy later in career.
