About Me
I’m a people-first Learning & Development Program Manager with a foundation in instructional design, emotional intelligence, and cross-functional collaboration. I specialize in soft-skills development, learner engagement, and designing programs that align learning outcomes with business goals.
My approach blends strategic thinking with genuine care, ensuring that learning experiences not only educate but also empower. Whether I’m mentoring new hires or managing stakeholder expectations, I lead with clarity, curiosity, and compassion.
Professional Journey
My career began in the world of psychology and child welfare leadership, where I supported families through some of life’s most difficult transitions. That experience shaped my belief in the power of communication, empathy, and practical problem-solving. These are skills I bring into every learning experience I design.
I transitioned into instructional design to create scalable, human-centered training for real-world challenges. Since then, I’ve worked in fast-paced corporate environments, led peer mentorship efforts, supported enterprise-level initiatives, and cultivated a reputation for storytelling, relationship-building, and results.
Leadership Philosophy
People first, always.
I lead with emotional intelligence, empathy, and clarity, because people do their best work when they feel supported, heard, and challenged in meaningful ways
Strategy meets heart.
My approach blends human-centered leadership with strategic thinking. I connect individual development to team performance and organizational goals—because leadership is about alignment, not authority.
Growth through trust.
Whether I’m mentoring peers or managing programs, I create environments where questions are welcomed, feedback is purposeful, and learning feels safe but impactful.

Outside of Work
When I’m not designing learning experiences, you’ll usually find me designing something else, like planners to organize life’s chaos or travel itineraries for friends and family. I love coordinating memorable events, competing in fantasy football with strategic flair, and spending time with my family.
Lately, I’ve been learning how to care for my vegetable garden and play piano, both humbling reminders that growth takes patience, curiosity, and a willingness to start messy.
