What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an innovative and self-driven Project Manager with over 10 years of experience successfully managing diverse small to medium-sized projects. My expertise lies in leading cross-functional teams, developing detailed project plans, and managing budgets, resources, schedules, and risks. I have a proven track record of delivering results within constraints, showcasing my excellent communication skills and passion for project management best practices.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in various roles, including Operations Coordinator, Account Executive, and Terminal Operations Supervisor. I have developed an inventory management system that reduced waste by 10% in just three months and accelerated business growth by onboarding new SaaS accounts that delivered $100,000 in recurring revenue within 10 months. My ability to negotiate contracts and create proposals has consistently exceeded customer satisfaction benchmarks, demonstrating my commitment to client success.

I am dedicated to continuous improvement and process optimization, having implemented end-to-end processes that resulted in significant cost savings and enhanced operational efficiency. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about fostering strong relationships with stakeholders to achieve project goals.
