I'm offering
I have worked in many industries from Healthcare, Retail to Digital as a contractor. I love being a part of a company I can grow with, evolve with and become a part of their journey to reach their goal.
There are many project managers that can stick to the job description but there are very few that are naturally curious, creative, and proactive. I can think outside the box and bring solutions to the table. I pride myself on being a people person and ensuring actions speak louder than words.
