What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level or junior project/program role in a collaborative organization to apply project management, data capture, and community outreach skills while growing into software development.

I am a project manager who consistently met deadlines while maintaining build quality and workplace safety; I developed and initiated projects, managed costs, monitored performance, and maintained vendor relationships to lower costs and diversify capabilities.

I have experience in data capturing and validation, program coordination and community outreach, and reporting to senior management; I implement programs aligned with national health calendars, organize events and trainings, and am training in system monitoring and software development to expand my technical contribution.
