What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a detail-oriented and highly motivated professional with over 15 years of leadership experience in safeguarding and child protection within educational settings. My proven ability to manage complex processes and coordinate cross-functional teams has consistently delivered outcomes aligned with organizational goals. Currently, I am transitioning into project management, where I can leverage my skills in policy implementation, risk management, and multi-agency collaboration.

As I pursue my PRINCE2® 7th Edition certification, I am enhancing my knowledge through self-directed learning and hands-on experience in project lifecycle support. My recent placement with a project management organization has equipped me with practical skills in project planning, tracking deliverables, and ensuring project success. I am eager to apply my leadership, communication, and organizational skills in a dynamic and mission-driven environment.
