Profile

I am born and raised in South London and from the age of 15 I have had an interest in Geography. I studied Human Geography at Durham University before going to work as a researcher for a company that builds hospitals, schools and housing in Africa.

In my spare time I love playing badminton and hanging out with my friends. I go to museums and talks every week on all manner of subjects from fashion to tanks.

When I can I go travelling, with my friends or on my own, where ever I can. I have been fortunate enough to visit lots of countries around the world especially in Asia and Africa.

I work to win business for my company. I prepare the documentation needed to start infrastructure building in Africa, partnered with African governments. I spend half of my time at my office in London completing research and writing documents. I spend the other half of my time speaking to customers in Africa, working with them to come up with infrastructure which will help them and the local people.

My day to day in London involves a lot of document and presentation writing so that we can win business. My day to day in Africa involves many meetings so that we can win new business.

A typical day when I am working in London: Wake up and have breakfast and go to the office for 9am. I then check my emails, prepare documents and have meetings until lunch time. I spend lunch with my friends and my colleagues. After lunch I go back to the office and to finalise any documents before finishing about 5pm.

A typical day in Africa is more hectic: I wake up and have breakfast to go to the office for 7am. Once there I will work for a few hours having calls, sending emails and preparing documents. At lunch I go to meet customers and have lunch with them. After lunch I come back to the office and make changes to documentation which are needed. I work till dinner time at 7pm when I return to the hotel.
