What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a technology-driven environment that values innovation and collaboration.

I am an experienced Team Leader and Project Manager with over 5 years of expertise in leading cross-functional teams and delivering impactful projects within the NGO sector. My journey has been marked by a commitment to managing complex initiatives and driving continuous improvement, particularly in resource-constrained environments. I am a certified Scrum Master (PSM I) and have a strong passion for technology, which fuels my eagerness to transition into a technology-driven industry.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led multicultural teams, managed substantial budgets, and directly impacted vulnerable populations through data-driven decision-making. My role as a Team Supervisor and Researcher involved conducting labor market analyses and ensuring compliance with standard operating procedures, which has honed my skills in stakeholder management and process optimization. I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to fostering team productivity and adaptability.

As I look to the future, I am excited about the opportunity to leverage my project management skills in a technology-focused role, where I can continue to drive positive change and innovation. I believe that my background in social impact projects and my commitment to continuous learning will enable me to contribute effectively to any organization.
