What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth, collaboration, and innovation in project management.

I am an aspiring student and professional pursuing a career in Project Management and Technology. With a strong foundation in project planning and stakeholder engagement, I have proven my ability to manage cross-functional teams, budgets, and timelines effectively. My passion for learning drives me to continuously develop my knowledge and skills, ensuring I make the most of every opportunity.

Throughout my career, I have celebrated significant achievements, including a 7-year tenure as a distributor and general manager at Sunday Times, and currently, I am a Project Manager at Eureka Projects, where I manage large government projects both remotely and onsite. My experience in software implementations and upgrades has further enhanced my technical skills, allowing me to deliver solutions that align with business goals.
