I’m a U.S.-based project manager with about 10 years of experience in enterprise project management, creative operations, workflow design, and vendor management.

I’ve recently become interested in long-term reconstruction work, and more broadly international disaster recovery and rebuilding. I’m not looking to volunteer for a week—I mean building a career over the next 5–10 years.

For those already working in international development or reconstruction:
- Is this a realistic transition?
- Would a PMP materially help?
- What experience should I pursue first?
- Are engineering firms, NGOs, or development contractors the best entry point?
- If you were starting over with my background, what would you do?

Thanks
