What expertise and background do you bring to the table?
After studying Construction Management and Surveying for my degree, I began my career at a global consultancy working on a variety of government and centrally funded projects in which I gained experience of a vast range of clients and sectors. During my career I have developed experience in masterplanning, fit out and public realm and the experience of these has furnished me with the skills to undertake my current role as a Junior Project Manager.
Can you outline the responsibilities of your role?
My role consists of a wide range of responsibilities and activities, during the early RIBA Stages I work with the Client and the Circle team to provide programmes, risk information and management of the design team to deliver and effective and efficient design in advance of construction. During construction, I work with the Contractor’s site team team, the Circle Quality team and and Quantity Surveyors to facilitate and monitor the progress of the project as well as any changes that might be required. I am well versed in building positive relationships across a project team and am always in favour of a collaborative working environment that provides a vehicle for positive communications and effective conflict resolution.

Describe your experiences and growth at Circle?
Having joined Circle in October 2024, I have jumped straight into interesting projects with agile project teams and have been able to use my own expertise to contribute to them. The environment within the company is one which gives me the space to succeed and provides a brilliant platform for me to obtain my RICS chartership.
What is your favourite project?
My favourite project is Westminster Masterplan; the intricacies in this project due to its constraints are really challenging and this opportunity for problem solving has hugely engaged my interest. Alongside this, the heritage aspects of the project draw on parts of my academic study which has been really enjoyable to draw upon.
What brings you joy outside of work?
Outside of work I am often found spending my time spending time getting out for a run, going to a new type of gym class or watching sports, having been a football fan for as long as I can remember. When I want some quiet time, I like sticking my head in a book whilst my latest bake is in the oven, spending time cooking with housemates or watching a terrible film.
