Producing statements of work and maintaining project schedule and cost control, including early buyout has also been very important to a successful project for both the owner and my employer. I have always been a fast learner typically getting up to speed on various projects and issues within short periods of time. The project management is an ever growing and expanding market becoming more technical as time progresses. I have a strong eye for detail in all aspects of my projects, including change management, technical requirements, and satisfying stakeholder requirements. I recently completed taking classes in Microsoft Access and advanced Excel. I have scheduled my test to obtain my Project Management Certification (PMP). I am knowledgeable with MS Word, MS Excel, MS Project, and use of Primavera project management software, P3 and Expedition.
