Profile

I live in Plymouth; in a cute flat by the sea!

I love the outdoors and since here in the South West we have lots of coastal paths, I get to go on beautiful walks or to the beach with my friends. I love the sea and spending time kayaking or paddle boarding!

I love travelling and taking photos of beautiful places. I also love playing basketball and I am a member of a local team in my city. I am a big fan of arts and crafts and I like doing different workshops; pottery, painting, cake painting, glass making, jewellery making, you name it!

My role mainly involves advising the Design Team and Client on how to achieve a holistic sustainable, low carbon and energy efficient building design approach. On a typical day at work:

• I create 3D models of proposed buildings
• I calculate the predicted energy consumption and carbon emissions and propose solutions on how to reduce them
• I complete assessments and advise on appropriate renewable technologies to fit the project

Over the seven years of my career I have been involved with more than 100 projects covering a range of building types.

• I create 3D models of proposed buildings using a cool software on my computer. Just imagine something like Minecraft!
• I can then calculate the predicted energy consumption and carbon emissions* and propose solutions how to reduce them.

(* carbon emissions:  Climate change is happening. The primary cause is greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions include carbon dioxide — the main greenhouse gas — greenhouse gases act like a blanket, trapping the sun’s warmth near the earth’s surface, and affecting the planet’s climate system. Reducing carbon dioxide emissions is the way to slow climate change. Building emissions are coming from powering lighting, heating, and cooling.

• I complete assessments and advise on renewable technologies to fit the project. Like solar panels for generating electricity by harvesting the energy from the sun!
