Carmen Menéndez Rodríguez
I am a professional with high organizational capacity and great communication and teamwork skills. I put passion and enthusiasm to make every project unique and I have adaptability to change and to different work environments.
The competences and experience I have been acquiring in my years as a professional organizer of congresses, conventions and events (PCO), such as process improvement, team coordination, negotiation with suppliers or exquisite customer service are applicable both in the administrative field and in project management.
Continuous training and improvement is one of my driving forces, which has recently led me to acquire new skills and knowledge in the areas of digital marketing and graphic design that complement and are transferable to those already acquired during my years of professional development.
