Summary
I have pursued education in project management, aiming to develop the skills necessary to excel in the field. With a strong desire to learn and grow, I am actively seeking opportunities to gain practical experience and further my expertise. My background includes hands-on work as a welder helper, assisting with pipe fitting, and performing as a boilermaker. Additionally, I’ve held a supervisory role with BrandSafway in scaffolding, where I was responsible for overseeing projects and teams, further sharpening my leadership abilities. I’m eager to leverage these experiences in a project management setting or supervisory role and continue my professional development in this area.
