I am a senior sustainability specialist with a strong passion for sustainable and climate-responsive designs. With extensive experience in developing high-performance design strategies for new-build and refurbishment projects, I possess a deep understanding of building energy performance and resource conservation strategies. My professional work has taken me across the globe, from the USA to China and India, where I have demonstrated a commitment to sustainable and renewable sources. Alongside my practical experience, I am currently pursuing a PhD that focuses on quantifying the whole-life energy consumption and embodied carbon content of UK homes built to Passivhaus standards compared to non-Passivhaus standards. In addition to my professional experience and ongoing research, I also have a strong commitment to teaching and lifelong learning. As an architect and engineer, I have developed a unique ability to bridge the gap between architectural design and building services, where communication has traditionally been poor.
