United States

Message

At Baltimore City Public Schools, I prototyped and scaled self-paced payroll training for 13,000+ employees, cutting payroll, budget, and timekeeping errors by 40% while maintaining 100% compliance completion. I own content and development for the payroll application in a multi-million-dollar Oracle HCM implementation (UKG Ready), using Microsoft Copilot in my content development pipeline.

At KPMG, I completed 25 of 50 job aids for an Oracle HCM implementation and served as first-line reviewer on a three-person team. Earlier, I designed learning experiences at EDVANCE COLLEGE and Friendship Public Charter Schools, and created eLearning for Columbia University + University of Missouri.
