The firm’s development director on changing her career path, the importance of collaboration and communication and getting the day off to a good start
I fell in love with architecture when I was 10, during the renovations of our family home. From then on, I knew I wanted to be an architect, and I felt lucky I didn’t face the usual challenges of working out which career path to take.
Surprisingly, during my architecture degree, I realised it wasn’t quite the right fit for me. But I knew I wanted to stay in the built environment, so I took a slightly different route into the industry and went into quantity surveying.
Fifteen years later, I shifted roles again, moving from my QS role on One Leadenhall to the development team at Brookfield Properties, where I now work as a development director.
