What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to diversity and inclusion.

I am a mission-driven people leader with extensive expertise in building scalable learning ecosystems and embedding organizational values into daily operations. My proven success in aligning people, process, and purpose has driven engagement, inclusion, and measurable business outcomes across multi-site organizations. I am known for my emotionally intelligent leadership and my ability to translate vision into systems that empower teams.

Throughout my career, I have held significant roles, such as Senior Vice President at the Tree Care Industry Association, where I built a national Trainer Qualification Program and led the implementation of EOS across departments. My experience also includes founding the Claims Adjuster Academy at MEMIC, where I created structured onboarding and advancement tracks, and launching a Job Readiness Training Program at the National ABLE Network. I am passionate about fostering high-performance teams and integrating cultural elements into organizational practices.
