When I started my degree in Information Technology, I was focused on learning the technical skills: hardware, troubleshooting, networking, and systems. But as I progressed, I realized something else was just as important—project management.
Every successful IT team needs someone who can plan, organize, communicate, and adapt. That’s where project management skills come in—and why I’ve decided to pursue the CAPM certification alongside my CompTIA A+.
It’s not about choosing between technical skills or leadership skills. It’s about building both, so I can contribute to teams and lead them when the time comes.
Long-Term, My Goal Is to Be:
- 💼 An IT professional with project coordination skills
- 🧩 Someone who understands the “why” behind every task
- 🧠 A bridge between technical teams and business goals
- 🚀 Prepared to grow into leadership roles over time
Project management isn’t just a certification for me—it’s a mindset. It’s about being proactive, organized, and ready to solve real-world problems with real-world tools.
The more I learn about managing people, time, and resources, the more I see how valuable this skillset is across the board.
And I’m ready to build on it—one project at a time.
