What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth, ideally in a collaborative environment focused on impactful projects.

As a Project Manager with seven years of experience, I have successfully led cross-functional programs across various sectors, including government, finance, FMCG, tech, and non-profit. My expertise lies in end-to-end project delivery, stakeholder engagement, risk mitigation, and project governance. At Ernst & Young, I managed over 20 concurrent projects, achieving 100% reporting compliance and a remarkable 90% regulatory approval rate at HMRC.

In my current role at the Florence Nightingale Foundation, I lead strategic programs from initiation to closure, managing contracts and budgets exceeding £500K. My efforts have resulted in a 95%+ attendance rate on national programs through effective stakeholder engagement and meticulous planning. I am skilled in utilizing tools such as MS Project, Jira, and Power BI to drive data-informed decisions and ensure project success.
