What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can grow my project management skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a motivated and detail-oriented junior project manager with a strong foundation in project management principles and practices. My experience includes coordinating tasks, managing timelines, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive project success. I am eager to contribute to a dynamic team and help deliver high-quality results.

Currently, I work as an Executive Assistant where I assist in coordinating project schedules and resources for various client projects. I support project teams by organizing meetings, preparing agendas, and documenting minutes. My previous roles have honed my organizational and multitasking abilities, allowing me to effectively collaborate with other teams and hold teammates accountable while maintaining healthy work relations.
