My story with
project management

I’ve been managing projects for as long as I can remember.

Long before I knew the term “project management,” I instinctively treated every challenge like a project: something I could break down, analyze, organize, and guide toward a goal.

Over the years, every “crisis” in my life became a personal project with a plan, a structure, and a clear outcome.
When I dealt with chronic pain and wanted to overcome my fear of exercising, I created a step-by-step method to rebuild trust with my body.
When I planned trips, job searches, or even moving apartments, I naturally opened a spreadsheet and turned the chaos into a roadmap: tasks, timelines, phases, budgets, and contingencies.

This instinct for structure didn’t come from theory. It came from lived experience: the need to navigate change with clarity, self-compassion, and logic.

Over time, it became a skill I refined again and again.

​

That path eventually led me to create Bravely,

a mind-body positive community and digital platform designed to support people in meaningful, accessible ways. Everything I had practiced until then suddenly came together: building workflows, planning phases, managing stakeholders, setting OKRs, designing digital assets, launching initiatives, analyzing data, and nurturing a growing community.

Bravely became my first full-scale project, where my natural strengths converged.

After building Bravely, I realized something important: my natural strengths weren’t random. The way I organized, planned, structured, optimized, and guided ideas into reality,

that was project management.

I had been doing it intuitively my entire life, but suddenly I saw how much more I could do if I developed this talent intentionally.

​

That clarity is what led me to the Google Project Management Certificate.
I wanted to deepen the skills I already used instinctively, learn professional frameworks, and understand how project management works in high-tech and cross-functional environments. I wanted to learn the language of the industry, from workflows and RACI charts to Agile, Scrum, risk management, OKRs, stakeholder communication, and data-driven decision-making.

​

Most importantly, I wanted to take the way I naturally solve problems and elevate it into a professional path. Studying project management wasn’t a new direction, it was the moment everything finally made sense. It gave structure to the way my mind has worked for years and opened the door to turning my strengths into a meaningful, impactful career.

​

Project management isn’t just something I do.
It’s how I see the world,
It’s how I overcome challenges,
And it’s how I bring ideas to life.
