My Story
Personal Profile
I am a learning and performance professional based in Florida. I believe learning is a continual process rather than a specific event. I endeavor to use my background, experience, and skills to help others continue learning as well.
I have experience developing courses and curricula, redesigning courses, and creating and managing training events and materials. I apply the experience and skills I’ve obtained through my career and my multidisciplinary education to manage projects through creative problem-solving and innovative thinking. I possess a strong eye for detail and can thrive independently as well as in a team environment.
