Background

After completing my first degree in architecture in Chicago, I came to the UK to pursue a research degree in the design of sustainable tall buildings. Prior to joining CAT, I worked in a number of architectural offices and on related projects, such as a report of climate change adaptation for the Climate Change Office and a community arts project. Alongside my work as a distance learning tutor, I co-chair a CTBUH research group and am a visiting tutor at Nottingham University.
