My experience spans various methodologies, including PRINCE2 and Agile, allowing me to adapt to different project environments effectively. I excel in managing cross-functional teams, developing detailed project plans, and maintaining high client satisfaction through effective communication and relationship building.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed project budgets, tracked expenses, and ensured adherence to budget constraints.
