Ashira Johnson
@ashirajohnson
I am an aspiring project manager, located in Baltimore, Maryland.
What I'm looking for
I'm someone who genuinely loves making things run smoothly by coordinating the moving pieces, keeping teams aligned, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
I've spent the last 6 years at Wegmans growing from cashier all the way to Service Team Leader, and somewhere along the way I realized that the parts of my job I love most all have one thing in common: they're project management. Planning, organizing, problem solving, bringing people together to hit a goal. That's where I thrive.
Outside of Wegmans I spent a few years supporting a small business as a Project & Content Coordinator, where I got hands on experience managing events and workshops from start to finish using tools like Jira, Notion, and Trello. That experience confirmed what I already suspected. This is the direction I want to go.
So that's what I'm working toward. I'm currently pursuing my CAPM certification through PMI and actively looking for entry level project management opportunities where I can keep building, keep growing, and do work that actually means something.
I care a lot about people and the kind of environment I'm in. I want to be somewhere collaborative, somewhere that takes their work seriously, and somewhere I can make a real contribution.
