A little more about my career journey.

My journey into the world of L&D started with an unexpected training ground: managing a children's swim program. Teaching kids how to swim required breaking down complex skills into manageable steps while keeping them engaged (ideally, above water). That same principle carries into my work today—making learning intuitive, accessible, and effective for every audience.

From there, I transitioned into recruiting and picked up compliance training. Ensure hiring practices are aligned with OFCCP regulations while coaching hiring managers on effective and equitable selection processes. I managed full-cycle recruiting while building relationships across 20+ departments, helping leadership make informed hiring decisions and ensuring candidates had a seamless experience. I also developed and delivered compliance training on hiring laws. In addition to training, I served as a bridge between leadership and new hires, reinforcing company values and fostering relationships supporting compliance and employee engagement. These experiences strengthened my ability to translate complex policies into actionable insights while embedding a culture of learning and accountability across teams.

As I moved into human capital consulting, I took a broader view—helping leaders make informed decisions about people, resources, and long-term talent strategies. I conducted workforce planning and talent assessments, developed structured frameworks for human capital services, and facilitated webinars on key leadership skills that helped organizations build stronger, more adaptable teams. My work also included strategic initiatives like succession planning, training needs analysis, and coaching leadership teams on change management. Beyond internal process development and client delivery, I played a key role in business development—supporting proposals, researching workforce trends, and presenting insights that helped secure new client engagements. A big part of my role was being an ambassador for our company's capabilities—championing our expertise in human capital solutions and positioning our team as thought leaders in the space. Whether presenting proposals, engaging with stakeholders, or shaping talent development strategies, I worked to ensure our solutions were seen as strategic drivers of business success.

Moving into a dedicated learning and development role, I built on this foundation, integrating technology, leadership development, and data-driven learning solutions to create programs that transformed how people learned and grew within the organization. Whether I was managing compliance training, optimizing learning platforms, or designing leadership pipelines, my goal was always the same—making learning an asset that drives both individual and organizational success. Oh, and making sure no one had to suffer through another mind-numbing PowerPoint deck (you're welcome).

One of my proudest achievements? Spearheading Growth & Development Month—a company-wide initiative that leveraged internal expertise to deliver the most impactful learning experiences. By listening to employee feedback and doubling down on peer-led learning, I built a program that was engaging, effective, and fully integrated into the company's talent development strategy. I also optimized our LMS, leading a transition that boosted course completion rates by 300%—because learning platforms should work for people, not the other way around.

I believe in using momentum—taking the energy of an idea, a challenge, or a strategic shift and turning it into something exciting. Whether that's facilitating leadership training, designing an interactive learning module, or helping an organization navigate change, I bring a mix of analytical thinking, adaptability, and a deep love of problem-solving to the table.

And when I'm not reimagining learning experiences? I'm probably deep in a new hobby, reading about the next big thing in instructional design or making a playlist on Spotify.
