Consider this my excuse to eat double cake all week long 😂 Ok, now the sappy part: When I started this journey back in January, I thought the biggest challenge would be learning the project management concepts and frameworks. But looking back, the biggest lesson I’m taking away is that growth often happens when we step into something before we feel completely ready. We have to be willing to keep showing up imperfectly, because we’re capable of doing hard things. Four years ago, when I graduated with degrees in ESL education and Spanish, I never imagined project management would become part of my story. I moved to Colombia to launch an English program, and through that experience, I discovered that I loved the work happening behind the scenes — building systems, solving problems, coordinating projects, leading a team, and bringing ideas to life. The PMP was never part of a plan I had mapped out, but looking back, I’m grateful to see how each step along the way prepared me for this moment. This journey also reminded me that there is never a perfect time to pursue a goal. There will always be busy seasons, competing priorities, and reasons to wait. This process was not picture-perfect. A lot of my studying happened after long workdays, from my bed, on the couch, and in the small moments I could find. It wasn’t always how I imagined it would look, but I learned that growth doesn’t happen when conditions are perfect — it happens when you choose to keep going anyway. I’m incredibly grateful for my study group @Crystal Harris @Karen Persad @Precious Akpan @Annabel Bryant @Jason Scoresby @Anthony Manalo, friends, and family who supported me throughout this journey, and for the way God has quietly guided my path in ways I never could have planned myself. Cheers to continuing to learn, grow, and embrace the unexpected paths along the way. 🚀

Anyone else aiming to take the PMP exam before the July update? I'm currently on the PMP preparation journey as well, and I know how overwhelming it can feel with the deadline approaching. I've been exchanging resources, study approaches, and preparation insights with other aspirants along the way. If you're preparing too and would like to connect, exchange resources, or discuss your study plan, feel free to reach out. We're all trying to get through this together!

After weeks of studying, quizzing, mindset battles, mock exams, and asking “why not C?” every other day 😀 I’m happy to say that I am officially PMP® certified! This journey was definitely not a solo one. A huge thank you to my amazing study buddies who made the process less stressful and a lot more enjoyable. The discussions, encouragement, accountability, and knowledge sharing made a huge difference. Special shoutout to: @Crystal Harris for kicking off the lucky group 😀 @Karen Persad @Jason Scoresby @Anthony Manalo @Cathy Denison @emma @annabel You all are rockstars! 💪🏽 Special thanks as well to @Andrew Ramdayal for the excellent Udemy course and mindset training that helped me approach the exam with confidence. To everyone still studying: keep going. There were days I felt overwhelmed, but consistency wins. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to enjoy not opening Study Hall for a while 😂🥳🏆 P.S While I did get a huge burger today, I’ll definitely be getting myself some cake this weekend 😂 #PMP #PMPCertified #ProjectManagement #ATATT
