Summary
Currently pursuing master's: accepted into universities in the likes of top 10 universities such as Politecnico di Milano, Georgia Tech and TU Delft alongside UNSW. Since UNSW aligned more with my passion for project management and developing my business acumen alongside strengthening structural and civil engineering background, thus, this degree is the perfect choice. Furthermore, former experience in project management as well as client and cost management ensures my capabilities as a well rounded manager. My passion towards understanding merchandizing and fashion comes from being around people who loved fashion.
