I’m a business-centered training and development leader with 15+ years of professional experience in leading purpose-driven programs and workforce optimization for complex business needs (internal and customer-facing). My leadership, training, and program development experience spans corporate leadership (Fortune 50), non-profit optimization, and community-based businesses.

My expertise lies in cross-functional program development, strategic business design, and instructional design/elearning. I partner with businesses to develop audience-friendly and scalable solutions that upskill and close knowledge gaps, both synchronous and asynchronous. I am dedicated to promoting collaboration and continuous learning through inclusive leadership and the creation of innovative platforms.

My responsibilities have varied across my various leadership, program, and training and development roles. However, there is one thing that has remained constant: my innate drive and passion for simplifying the complex and driving effective change. It is this pursuit that has led me here today.

I look forward to co-creating with you.
