About

With more than 12 years of experience in non profits, consulting and my time as a federal civilian, I am skilled with

program- specific ideologies, targeted program management, as well as learning and development evaluation, methodologies and instructional design. My passion is in systems migration, implementations, user testing and ensuring data is accurate and seamless to understand at any level. I bring the circle in a triangle questions that apply innovation, logic and critical thinking to achieve the results needed for any project or program. I serve as a liaison for HR and enjoy collaborating across internal and external networks to achieve goals and show results.
