PROFESSIONAL EXPRERIENCE Apr 2015 - Present
I began my UK career working at Boxco2 Consultants as CAD Technician, developing design and construction drawing packages as one of the most junior members of the team and, within 2 years in the company, I became a senior member responsible for running projects almost independently while assisting more junior members of the team.
As Senior Project Manager, I lead the projects from the initial brief to handover in a smooth and efficient way, to achieve the highest possible quality within the desired timeframe and project budget.
Seeking further development and progression I joined Mailen Design in 2015. Once I became familiar with the company’s methodologies and procedures, I was capable of managing autonomously and simultaneously multiple projects and clients, from initial meeting through all project stages up to handover, reporting to the director as and when required.
