Personal Statement
As a Project Management Professional, educator, and leader with 20 years of experience, I am passionately applying to the PMI CWCC’s President role.
I started volunteering with CWCC from November 1, 2014, and thus far have shown my loyalty to the chapter by continuously serving the community through several different capacities as follows:
- Course Coordinator
- Director - PMP Programs
- Project Manager – Chapter Management Solution
- Instructor
- Board Member and VP of Education
I started volunteering with CWCC when I was a newcomer to Canada and, of course, was looking for a job to get settled in my new home. PMI helped me secure my job and find the right direction in the professional project community. I continued my relationship with CWCC after finding a career at TELUS as a Project Manager and as an Instructor at BCIT this time to give back to the community.
