Welcome to PMI's online community, Alan Suarez Morales! We're so glad to have you here.
Hellooo. I’m Laura I have 6 years of experience in Digital Marketing mainly in Germany dealing with EU markets and a couple of years with Latin America. Now I would love to learn and develop my knowledge more towards projects. I took two event/project management courses at university and was thoroughly impressed and figured now would be a good time to pursue a complementary career focus.

Growing up I thought it would be great to work in a multinational company just like my parents. I also enjoyed art and cooking as a potential backup.

My favorite PM tools would be Clickup. I would love to try and master Jira or Microsoft projects.

My proudest accomplishment would be getting my German driver’s license as the practical test had tricky variable and multiple correct answers which posed a challenge. Also slowly increasing the number of books I read per year. This year’s number is 26.

Hi Joe, welcome! Thank you for sharing how PMI & the PMP has helped you in your career journey; we’re so glad to have you as part of the PMI community!

I was never a very good performer or singer, but I have always loved the theatre, especially musicals. 😊 Nothing beats a live performance!
Hello everyone!
I'm Michel Okan, currently working as a Technical Advisor in strategic planning, governance, and project management. I specialize in sectors like socio-economic development, governance, digital transformation, conflict Resolution and peacebuilding and capacity building, primarily in West Africa (Benin, Mali) and beyond.
Growing up, I always wanted to be an economist or development expert. I had a strong passion for understanding how effective management, strategic planning, and thoughtful leadership can transform communities.
I regularly use tools like Excel, and I’m also interested in mastering advanced project management platforms such as Jira and Asana, along with data analysis tools such as Power BI.
What drew me to project management is its transformative potential. It provides a structured approach to making meaningful changes and achieving concrete results. Seeing real impacts from well-managed projects is what keeps me motivated and dedicated to this industry.
My proudest accomplishment professionally has been leading and coordinating impactful projects related to democracy, governance, peacebuilding, conflict prevention, youth and economic empowerment, strategic partnerships and resource mobilization, and digital transformation in Africa, including the successful implementation of strategic development plans that have significantly improved communities' quality of life.
I’m delighted to join this dynamic community, eager to connect, exchange experiences, and learn from each of you!

Best regards,
Michel

Patatree Sanyal Maryland, United States
Hello,
I am Patatree Sanyal(you can call me Pat :)).
I am an experienced Project and Program Delivery Manager with over 15 years in the ICT sector. I specialize in delivering end-to-end infrastructure, cloud migration, and digital transformation initiatives across Australia, the Asia-Pacific, and the U.S.

As a child, I dreamed of becoming an Indian classical dancer, having trained as a scholar in Bharatnatyam, one of India’s most renowned classical dance forms. I was drawn to the discipline, expression, and the ability to inspire through performance—values that, interestingly, also underpin my journey into project management. Leadership, coordination, and continuous learning are central to both worlds. I continue to practice and perform at various cultural events and diaspora gatherings, staying connected to my passion.

I’m passionate about developing strategies around cloud migrations and digital transformations. Lately, I’ve been exploring how AI and automation can enhance risk forecasting and delivery efficiency—an area in which I’m excited to deepen my expertise.
What drew me to project management was the opportunity to turn ideas into outcomes. What has kept me here is the ability to empower cross-functional teams, solve complex problems, and deliver tangible value.
One of my proudest moments was leading a critical cloud migration program for a major Australian financial institution—delivered on time, under budget, and with zero unplanned downtime.
On a personal note, I recently relocated from Sydney, Australia to Maryland, USA, with my family and am currently seeking new opportunities in Project Management. I’m also proud to have completed two postgraduate degrees while caring for my newborn—a rewarding and transformative phase of life.
Looking forward to learning from and contributing to this vibrant community!
