What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, growth-focused role managing client-facing projects where I can apply Agile practices, improve workflows, and build strong cross-functional relationships.

I am a detail-oriented Junior Project Manager with hands-on experience coordinating cross-functional teams, managing client-facing projects, and optimizing workflows using Agile methodologies. I hold coursework and certifications in Agile Project Management Essentials and have delivered organized, efficient projects aligned with business goals.

I have a background in Korean language education and cultural tourism, with experience as a tour guide, brand ambassador, and content contributor. I combine strong communication, risk and timeline management, and tool proficiency (Jira, Trello, Asana, Notion, Confluence, MS Office) to drive collaborative outcomes and memorable stakeholder experiences.
