What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values data-driven decision-making and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a seasoned project manager with extensive experience in market research and data analysis. Over the years, I have successfully managed diverse teams and projects, ensuring that client objectives are met with precision and efficiency. My role at Ipsos China involved overseeing a data collection team, where I was responsible for everything from proposal submissions to final presentations, demonstrating my ability to handle complex projects with multiple stakeholders.

In my recent position as an Annotation QA Specialist at Toyota Research Institute, I led the 3D LIDAR pipeline, liaising with data users and ensuring that data standards were met. My experience spans various roles in customer support and sales, where I honed my skills in managing client relationships and ensuring project deliverables were met on time and within budget. I thrive in cross-functional environments and am passionate about leveraging data to drive business success.
