The story so far
The path behind Emily's work.
Emily Foster is a Level 6 Architectural Assistant Apprentice at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM), the employee-owned London practice.
Emily came into architecture through the Accelerate programme, a widening-participation initiative run with UCL and architecture practices that introduces students from underrepresented backgrounds to the profession. Through it she connected with AHMM and went on to join the practice's Level 6 Architectural Apprenticeship, one of the RIBA Trailblazer apprenticeship routes.

Emily Foster, Level 6 Architectural Assistant at AHMM
