What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative team environment, and the chance to contribute to impactful projects.

I am a motivated and detail-oriented aspiring project coordinator with a solid foundation in project management principles, including PRINCE2 and Agile methodologies. My experience includes supporting end-to-end project lifecycles, stakeholder communication, and project scheduling. I am eager to contribute to high-performing teams and grow into a junior project management role.

In my recent role as an Admin Assistant and Coordinator, I supported daily scheduling and reporting activities, collaborating with multiple departments to ensure data accuracy. My volunteer experiences as a Project Coordinator for various campaigns have honed my skills in planning, execution, and stakeholder management, leading to successful outcomes and improved community engagement.

With certifications in PRINCE2 and Agile Project Management, I am committed to continuous learning and applying best practices in project management. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about making a positive impact through effective project coordination.
