Who I am and what makes me tick…
What prompted you to start a career in Structural Engineering
With a family background in the construction industry, I was exposed early on to the world of building and design. That environment sparked a genuine interest in the behind-the-scenes technical work that holds it all together. As a structural technician, I bring that interest to life by producing clear, accurate drawings that turn engineering designs into real, buildable structures.
How has your previous experience helped you at Centrespace Design?
My 10 years in Romania working at a structural company gave me a solid foundation in handling large-scale, complex projects. That experience taught me to think structurally and practically, especially under pressure, and to stay cool when juggling multiple disciplines and tight deadlines.
I’ve found that my background helps me navigate challenges, spot potential issues early, and collaborate smoothly with engineers and architects.
Which part of your work gives you the greatest sense of achievement?
Definitely detailing! There’s just something incredibly satisfying about taking a complex structural concept and breaking it down into clear, precise, buildable details.
How would people describe you?
I think people would say I’m fun, reliable, organised, detail-obsessed (in the best way), and someone who genuinely cares about getting things right.
What motivates you to do what you do?
I’m motivated by the feeling that my work matters. That the drawings and details I produce aren’t just lines on a screen, but the backbone of something real, strong, and lasting. Plus, having grown up around the construction industry, it just feels natural to be part of the process that turns ideas into buildings
What can you be found doing when you’re not at work?
Outside of work, I love going for long walks with my dog—it’s my favourite way to clear my head and get some fresh air. I’m also a big fan of a good book—nothing beats getting lost in a great story. When I really want to relax, I’m off on holiday adventures, making memories, exploring new places.
