Welcome to Heema Patel's Portfolio
I am an empathetic leader who enjoys using rational thinking to tackle business problems with a passion for helping people finding a solution.
In my view, project management principles are omnipresent, subtly guiding our daily activities without us often realizing it. Whether it's organizing a vacation, preparing meals, or tackling household repairs, we're constantly engaging in tasks that require elements of project management, such as gathering requirements, considering stakeholders' needs, and managing budgets.
Throughout my life, I've encountered numerous situations where applying project management frameworks was essential for achieving my objectives. I have developed a keen intuition for the fundamental values of project management and honed my ability to employ these frameworks effectively, both in personal endeavors and within professional contexts.
