About

I am a newly qualified Project Management professional with a strong foundation in Agile project management and sustainability, supported by extensive leadership and operational experience gained in the British Army, where coordination, compliance, and accountability are essential. My background has enabled me to develop strong capabilities in organising people and resources, managing priorities, communicating with multiple stakeholders, and maintaining high operational standards. I bring a structured, process-driven approach focused on accountability, efficiency, and high-quality outcomes. While transitioning into formal project roles, I continue to build on these strengths through professional development and practical experience. I am particularly interested in project coordination, stakeholder communication, project planning, and delivery support. I am currently seeking an entry-level Project Manager, Project Coordinator, or Project Assistant role where I can contribute to organised and collaborative project environments while continuing to develop my expertise and support successful project delivery. Key strengths: • Project coordination & delivery support • Stakeholder communication • Agile & structured methodologies • Training & knowledge transfer • Logistics & operational planning • Health, safety & compliance
