About Me
I discovered my passion for training early in my career. At 19, while working as a secretary for an agency in Washington, DC, I attended a computer training session on internal applications. The instructor’s ability to make complex tools approachable and engaging left a lasting impression. I knew immediately that I wanted to do that work.
A year later, when her position became available, I applied and began my career in training and development.
Since then, I have built my career around designing and delivering engaging, practical learning experiences. I enjoy partnering with organizations to understand their needs, translating complex systems and workflows into clear, actionable training, and helping learners build confidence in their skills.
Designing new training and continuously improving existing content keeps the work dynamic and rewarding. Training and development is a field that continues to evolve, and it’s a career I remain deeply committed to.
