Summary
I started out in business development, where I learned how to understand client requirements and build strong relationships. Over time, I discovered my strength in project coordination keeping teams aligned, creating project plans, and making sure deadlines are met. I have worked with tools like ClickUp, Monday.com, and Google Workspace to manage tasks, track progress, and streamline processes. With a mix of client-facing experience and coordination skills, I focus on clear communication, risk management, and smooth project delivery.
