What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a project management role where I can coordinate stakeholders, track milestones and risks, and maintain strong documentation—while continuously improving processes. I’m motivated to grow into bigger project leadership responsibilities.

I’m a Project Management Assistant with experience supporting industrial automation and engineering projects at Schneider Electric Nigeria. I coordinate stakeholders, track milestones and risks, maintain structured project documentation, and help ensure deliverables are completed on schedule.

I’m passionate about process improvement and building a career in project management. Alongside my project work, I’ve supported research and robotics initiatives—collecting and annotating drone imagery, training machine learning models, and developing UAV landing systems—strengthening my data-driven approach to delivery.
