What I'm looking for

I am looking for a job that values innovation, fosters a diverse and inclusive work environment, and provides opportunities for career growth. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to utilize my expertise in leadership development, instructional design, and diversity and inclusion strategies.

I am a highly skilled training and development professional with a proven track record in leadership and management. Throughout my career, I have spearheaded various initiatives to enhance organizational development, facilitate effective communication, and drive innovation. I have a strong background in instructional design, needs assessment analysis, and content production, which has allowed me to create engaging and impactful training programs.

One of my notable achievements was leading the Racing Spirit: Leadership Development initiative at Honda. I successfully organized and facilitated this program in 2 months, which resulted in improved leadership skills and increased employee engagement. Additionally, I have experience in sales development training, where I implemented diversified learning methodologies and mentored sales professionals to optimize performance.

My expertise extends to training in areas such as diversity awareness, inclusion strategies, and performance management. I have designed comprehensive curricula and delivered interactive educational programs in person and virtually, to foster a positive learning experience. I am skilled in utilizing various learning technologies and platforms, including Articulate, Camtasia, Blackboard, Microsoft 365, Canva, and Webex.
