About

✅ PMP-certified professional with 13 years of experience in project management, documentation, and event coordination. I spent 5 years in a construction company and 8 years at COMSATS University Islamabad, where I worked on project planning, documentation, and organizing seminars and workshops. 🛠️ Skilled in using Primavera and other project management tools to manage timelines, tasks, and team coordination. I have hands-on experience in writing all types of project documents, including proposals, reports, and evaluations. 🎤 Along with technical work, I enjoy interacting with people. I’ve hosted many events and have a strong interest in roles where I can combine project work with team collaboration and communication. 🌟 I’m looking for new opportunities where I can contribute through both my project management and interpersonal skills.
