Laura Cardozo
@lauracardozo
Experienced project and program coordinator focused on stakeholder engagement.
What I'm looking for
I am a project and program coordinator with diverse experience across higher education, non‑profit, and corporate environments, delivering stakeholder communications and managing program operations. I have led graduate admissions, coordinated scholarships, and supported strategic planning to improve program outcomes.
My background includes project execution and outreach, where I tracked performance metrics, managed budgets and membership systems, and maintained strong partner relationships. I also ran social media and website communications to raise engagement and visibility for research and community projects.
I bring strong organizational, communication, and database skills, fluency in English and Spanish (proficient in Italian), and a record of improving retention programs and administrative processes. I seek roles where I can apply program management, stakeholder outreach, and operational oversight to drive impact.
