Summary
I am a goal-oriented professional with over thirteen years of experience developing Energy projects and logistics in over six countries. As an energy professional, I decided to pursue my career in the Renewable Energy field by being a part of founding a solar energy company. I created a strong balance between my technical project management and the organization's strategy as an energy consultant, recent MBA graduate, and project management certificate holder. I aim to join a company where I can apply my knowledge to improve their business and leverage my experience.
