I recently transitioned into a career in project management, leveraging my extensive experience leading projects and driving process improvement. From the onset of my professional journey, I've been drawn to orchestrating and enhancing processes, leading projects alongside my regular duties, and finding fulfillment in contributing to impactful initiatives.One of my standout experiences was spearheading the local Toys for Tots Program for three consecutive years. This role demanded meticulous strategic planning and hands-on coordination from October through December. Over time, I evolved the program by establishing volunteer leadership positions, leading to expanded outreach and the distribution of toys to 21,000 children in our community.In my personal time, I'm wholeheartedly committed to natural health, pouring my energy into growing my first organic garden. With the support of platforms like Seedtime, I'm exploring the nuances of gardening, with my sights set on a rich harvest. I'm cultivating 12 different vegetables and employing succession planting to ensure a continuous harvest.Mentorship has been invaluable throughout my journey. I hold a project management certification and am an active Project Management Institute (PMI) Portland member, where I'm engaged in their mentorship program. This support network provides me with confidence as I embark on this exciting new chapter in my career.
