During my first year of university, I collaborated with the environmental consultancy agency Delta-Simons on an applied urban research project. Working alongside a team of peers, I investigated the environmental challenges of air pollution in Manchester and evaluated practical mitigation strategies to improve urban air quality. This experience enhanced my analytical abilities, research skills, and collaborative problem-solving in a professional context.
