What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my project coordination skills in a dynamic environment focused on educational development and learner engagement.

I am a dedicated project coordinator with over five years of experience in supporting educational and development initiatives across multiple stakeholders. My expertise lies in managing documentation, process workflows, stakeholder coordination, and learner data reporting. I am passionate about improving the learner experience through structured and scalable systems, utilizing tools like Moodle, Tableau, and various CRM systems.

In my recent role as an Education Project Officer, I co-developed an accredited national training program delivered across 16 public training centers. I successfully designed and led professional development webinars that resulted in a 30% increase in engagement. My ability to coordinate stakeholder engagement across departments has been instrumental in aligning content, delivery processes, and learner performance metrics, ensuring a cohesive approach to educational initiatives.

Previously, as a Project Coordinator for Youth Engagement & Learning, I evaluated and identified training needs for over 80 young participants, leading to significant improvements in program completion rates. I am skilled in generating and analyzing reports to support evidence-based decision-making, and I thrive in environments that prioritize continuous improvement and learner support.
