What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and supports career growth.

I am an entry-level project manager with 8 years of experience leading cross-functional teams in technical and change initiatives. My background in computer science, combined with my Google Project Management Professional certification, has equipped me with the skills to translate complex technical documentation into actionable deliverables. I have successfully managed key dependencies and built robust test plans to ensure sustainable project launches.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability in agile project management, risk mitigation, and stakeholder engagement. My recent capstone project involved rolling out tabletop menu tablets at Sauce & Spoon, where I achieved significant improvements in customer satisfaction and revenue. I am passionate about supporting innovative, regulated change initiatives and continuously seek opportunities for professional growth.
