Summary
Since childhood, I have been intrigued by the mega-structures already in place. I still remember looking at the Lotus temple for the first time, which made my eyes pop. That image was always stored in the back of my mind and made me pursue my bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering and master’s in project management. I love taking on new challenges as it allows me to learn new skills and become a leader in my craft.
