Welcome! Introduce yourself to PMI’s Online Community

Hi Laura, my name is Jenny Lai.

I have been working in the Banking industry for over 6 years as a Project Manager, coming from an IT background. It is rather a natural career path that comes my way as I gained experience in the software and hardware industry simultaneously.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a book author. But my upbringing somehow pushes me to STEM, and ended up in Math and Computer Science side.

Favorite project management tool has to be JIRA and Confluence, as each task could be distributed to each team member, and also able to generate report to departments as a high-level overview for a quick glance at project health.

Hi Laura, this is Mustafa Zariwala working in the capacity of senior project manager in one of the leading and reknowned software company. I've been in the industry for around two decades now and had a chance of working with small to medium and large sized organizations within multiple domains and technology. From an intern graphic designer to fresh grads developer till project management and still striving to achieve the best out of the industry knowledge and experiences, it has been a remarkable journey so far successfully delivering low to high budget projects, mentoring teams, collaborating with multi-cultural professionals and exchanging experiences and sharing knowledge.

My name is Carl Scheel and I am one of many Project Managers for Advanced Contractors Inc. in Torrance, California.

I come from humble beginnings and had no aspirations for a specific career while growing up other than being self-sufficient in raising a family. My father was a welder and I knew I would no be following in his footsteps. I ultimately landed in construction as a residential electrician and my career flourished. I soon became a Facilities Electrician and then Facilities Manager and now a Project Manager in a construction firm.

Since I am relatively new to being a PM, not much different from being a Facilities Manager, I'd like to be more proficient in MS Project.

I was drawn to PMI to earn my CAPM, PMP and ultimately my PM credentials and advance in my career.

My proudest accomplishment is being able to have raised a family, send my children off to college and have them self-sufficient raising their own families.
