What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, values continuous learning, and offers opportunities for career advancement.

I am a results-driven Learning and Development leader with over 15 years of experience in shaping strategies that elevate skills, accelerate careers, and strengthen a culture of continuous improvement. My proven success lies in translating business goals into innovative, high-impact learning experiences for all organizational levels. Currently, I am completing a Doctorate in Organizational Development and Change Management, which further enhances my expertise in this field.

In my recent role as Assistant Director of Learning and Organizational Development at Erie Home, I built and led a company-wide learning strategy that significantly drove employee engagement and addressed critical business performance gaps. I designed and launched Erie Home University, a comprehensive career development framework aimed at building leadership capabilities and supporting succession planning. My strategic partnerships with HR and department heads have allowed me to identify skill gaps and coach leaders on performance improvement and career development effectively.

Previously, I served as a Global Organizational Development and Talent Specialist at Fortune Brands, where I pioneered the company's first global talent philosophy and managed an enterprise-wide leadership assessment program. My experience also includes architecting an award-winning corporate mentoring program at Key Bank, which increased participation by 68% and built a robust pipeline of future leaders. I am passionate about leveraging data to measure effectiveness and drive performance in all my initiatives.
