What’s been the biggest challenge in transitioning to your new role?
The biggest challenge has been adjusting to managing several projects at once while learning new workflows and responsibilities. In my previous role, the focus was on accuracy and consistency within a well-defined scope. Now, I will be navigating broader coordination, timelines and communication. It’s been a shift in perspective, requiring new habits while still building on the strengths I developed before.
How does your background in data processing help you in project management?
Detail focus and data skills help drive organized, clear projects.My experience has given me a strong foundation in detail-oriented thinking, structured analysis, and precision, all of which are crucial in project management. Being able to interpret data accurately allows me to make informed decisions, set realistic timelines, and monitor progress effectively.
What are you most excited about in your new position?
I’m most excited about the opportunity to manage projects from start to finish and see ideas come to life through careful planning and collaboration. Being part of the full project lifecycle—from initial concept to final delivery—allows me to connect strategy with execution. It’s rewarding to contribute to tangible outcomes and help shape solutions that have a real impact on the business and our partners.
What’s one professional skill you're currently working on?
I’m currently refining my skills in risk management, which is essential in my transition to project management. I’m also focusing on improving adaptability to better navigate dynamic project environments and team needs. This combination helps me proactively address challenges, ensure smoother execution, and work more effectively, aligning with both project goals and broader organizational strategy.
What's a hobby or interest people might not know you have?
I enjoy hiking and exploring new trails—it’s a great way for me to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature. It not only helps me stay physically active but also clears my mind, which in turn boosts my focus and creativity when I return to work. Besides hiking, cycling and gardening are among my hobbies and interests. These activities help me maintain a healthy work-life balance, stay active, and recharge mentally. They also inspire mindfulness and patience—qualities I find valuable in both personal growth and professional settings.
