A Glimpse into Damola’s Journey
I completed my PMP certification in March 2023, fulfilling a long-standing goal. After achieving this milestone, I wanted to connect with like-minded professionals and continue enhancing my project management knowledge to maintain my certification. Additionally, as I was new to town, I was eager to build a network that could support my professional growth and success. In May 2023, I attended one of the community sessions at PMI Mass Bay and felt an immediate sense of belonging. I reached out to the organizers to express my interest in volunteering and was warmly welcomed. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to the chapter and growing alongside an inspiring community.
The Rewards of Volunteering:
Volunteering has been incredibly rewarding. I’ve had the chance to contribute meaningfully, like redesigning the chapter’s website—something I’m truly proud of. Beyond that, I’ve built great friendships and had the privilege of working closely with board members, learning firsthand how they plan activities and keep the chapter thriving. It’s been a fun and fulfilling experience all around.
Getting to Know Damola:
I’m a huge soccer fan, and honestly, Manchester United FC consumes all of my time. I watch matches live every week, then in the evening I watch the recaps/ highlights, and then later I dive into all the scour through the news for more information about the club. It’s my go-to way to relax and stay excited.
