Experience
Working is second nature to me and i have always gone the extra mile to work in the holidays to gain experience and/or concretize my decision to study architecture. My passion for hard work and drive for success started in primary school when I was awarded Entrepreneur of the year award for my successful business, I was also awarded the winner of the creative and marketing side for the design of my products packaging. I have since worked in a number of different fields further gaining experience and building communication, organization and leadership skills.
