Results-driven project management professional focused on timely delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven project management professional with a strong focus on project planning, scheduling, and monitoring progress to ensure timely delivery. My expertise lies in identifying and managing project dependencies while maintaining a keen focus on achieving business objectives. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to driving success through meticulous attention to detail and adaptability to evolving project requirements.
During my recent internship as a Project Assistant, I collaborated with researchers and stakeholders to enhance agricultural practices and food security. I developed detailed project plans, assigned tasks based on team strengths, and ensured timely delivery by closely monitoring project performance. My volunteer experiences further honed my skills in managing community projects, particularly in water and sanitation initiatives, where I led assessments and training programs to empower local youth.
With a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration (Project Management) and a Google Project Management Professional Certificate, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to excel in project management roles. I am passionate about leveraging technology and innovative solutions to drive impactful results in the community.
