My Specialties
Leading and executing on training initiatives
I have over 15 years of experience in the learning and development field, with 6 years in global training management. I have a master's degree in Instructional Design and Educational Technology and another in Human Resources Training and Development. I recently obtained a certificate in Executive Leadership from Cornell. I am highly skilled in leading teams, optimizing learning management systems, curriculum development, and standardizing on-the-job training to be effective and sustainable.
Utilizing technology to drive results that make an impact
I am passionate about learning and using technology to streamline processes, create training, and improve employee performance. I have used multiple learning management systems to deliver training, track completions, and run reports. In addition, I have advanced experience creating web-based training, animations, graphics, videos, and motion graphics. I am excited about the future of AI and utilizing it to enhance training and instructional design projects.
Collaborating with SMEs to identify training components
Training should always be learner-centered and performance-based, not instructor-centered & content-based. I use an agile approach that utilizes a heavy front-end analysis to help identify the audience, needs, and learning objectives needed to achieve the desired results. I also like to use a continuous improvement process to improve efficiency and reduce waste and defects. I am highly efficient and experienced in working with SMEs to design, develop, and evaluate training.
A little about me
Early in my career, I embraced the concepts of continuous improvement at work and my individual development. I have two Master's Degrees and a recent certificate in Executive Leadership from Cornell. In addition, I am continually enhancing my skills and knowledge in current training and development trends along with web-based training, graphic design, animation, video, and other technology related to Instructional Design. I also love leading teams and mentoring others to reach their potential.
