Architect | Heritage Conservation
Ottawa,Ontario

Summary

I am an experienced architect and conservationist with a Graduate Diploma in Architectural Conservation from Carleton University.
My interest in heritage and conservation motivated me to move forward from architecture to architectural conservation as my academic path. My experience working on a heritage building in Shiraz, Iran, has given me a wealth of information regarding heritage and architectural conservation. It is my dream career to be a conservation architect, and I am confident that my understanding of architectural conservation from Carleton University and my architectural experience will contribute to positive change in the historic sector.
