What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a structured, professional environment where I can own project planning and tracking, communicate clearly with stakeholders, manage risks proactively, and grow into long-term project management with hands-on delivery.

I’m a Google-certified Project Coordinator with professional experience in logistics operations, academic programme scheduling, and customer service. Across contract and internship roles, I coordinated schedules and daily tasks, tracked progress against deadlines, and prepared structured reports and documentation to keep delivery on track.

I’m especially strong in stakeholder communication and operational follow-through. I regularly update team members and client stakeholders, maintain accurate project tracking records, and identify risks early—escalating issues to management and helping resolve problems to protect scope, timing, and outcomes.

I bring Agile/Scrum mindset and practical tools to execution, working confidently with Microsoft Office, Asana, Google Workspace, and project tracking platforms. Organised, detail-oriented, and proactive, I’m eager to build a long-term career in project management within a structured, professional environment—available immediately for full-time work.
