What I'm looking for

I seek a role leading enterprise-wide cybersecurity awareness and L&D programs where I can use data-driven insights and AI to boost engagement, compliance, and measurable behavior change across hybrid, cross-functional teams.

I am a Learning & Development and Cybersecurity Awareness Specialist with 5+ years of experience designing enterprise-wide training programs that drive measurable behavioral change. I specialize in creating SCORM-compliant e-learning and multi-channel awareness campaigns for diverse audiences.

I have led programs impacting thousands of employees, achieving 80%+ e-learning completion rates and reducing phishing click rates from 20% to 3% through targeted KnowBe4 simulations and remediation. I use AI tools such as ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot to accelerate content development and improve clarity.

I collaborate cross-functionally with IT, HR, and Communications to deliver hybrid engagement strategies and build metrics dashboards that drove a 30% improvement in phishing detection and increased incident reporting. I bring a data-driven, learner-centered approach to instructional design and continuous improvement.
