I’m honoured to have received the UK Regional Award for Architecture & Design at the Global Undergraduate Awards 2025, and to have attended the Global Undergraduate Summit in Dublin (9–12 November 2025). The Summit brought together award-winning students from across the world and a wide range of disciplines, creating an inspiring space for dialogue, collaboration and exchange. Over three days, I took part in workshops, talks and panel discussions and had the opportunity to connect with students, academics and professionals whose perspectives extended beyond my own field.

Overall, I found the experience both eye-opening and inspiring. Engaging with interdisciplinary research and global viewpoints challenged how I think about architecture, leadership and impact. It reinforced in me the importance of communication, adaptability and collaboration in shaping meaningful work. I came away with new perspectives, valuable connections and a renewed motivation to approach design with curiosity, responsibility, and a broader global awareness.
