Clare Valdivia
@clarevaldivia
Project specialist driving training and onboarding programs through data and process improvement.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Training & Development Project Specialist who owns end-to-end delivery of multi-system onboarding programs, translating operational needs into scalable, trackable learning modules. I partner with developers, SMEs, and stakeholders to define scope, milestones, timelines, and dependencies—then I lead build, test, and launch with measurable outcomes.
In my current role at Providence Health Plan (Remote), I drive process improvement by identifying onboarding gaps and implementing standardized solutions that improve adoption and reduce manual follow-ups. I design and facilitate training labs that support 50+ successful employee onboardings, and I track engagement and completion metrics to continuously iterate and optimize.
Before that, I improved operational efficiency through cross-functional delivery and workflow redesign. At Swedish Medical Center, I led process optimization across three clinical facilities, increased scheduling accuracy and throughput by 30% via a triage prioritization framework, and ensured compliance with HIPAA and security standards while managing documentation and stakeholder communications.
I also bring strong operational and people-facing execution, from talent acquisition logistics to public health operations. As a Talent Acquisition Specialist, I used funnel metrics to remove bottlenecks and improve process efficiency by 25%, while monitoring SLAs and escalating risks to protect timelines. Earlier roles strengthened my foundation in data reporting, documentation accuracy, and coordinated workflow management during high-volume and time-sensitive environments.
