What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages professional growth, and allows me to leverage my project management skills to make a meaningful impact.

I am a results-driven project professional with extensive expertise in project coordination, data management, and stakeholder engagement across various sectors including research, health, ERP, and training. My proven ability to support end-to-end project functions encompasses planning, logistics, M&E implementation, financial oversight, and content development. I have a successful track record in delivering impactful training programs that enhance team performance and improve project visibility through strategic communications.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a knack for simplifying complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights for diverse audiences. My recent role as a Project Officer at the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) involved executing comprehensive project support, deploying an internal training platform that expanded access to over 500 trainees, and producing engaging training videos that significantly boosted knowledge retention. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive project success and foster collaborative environments.
