United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Learning and Talent Development leader with 8+ years of experience designing and scaling onboarding, leadership development, and talent programs in high-performance professional environments. I partner cross-functionally with senior leadership to build learning strategies that improve engagement, accelerate integration, and support long-term organizational growth.
In my current role as Professional Development and Integration Manager, I designed and launched scalable 30/60/90-day onboarding and integration frameworks to accelerate attorney productivity, engagement, and long-term retention. I develop learning resources, communication strategies, and engagement initiatives—then use AI-enabled tools and workflow automation to streamline content development, program planning, communication drafting, and training resource creation.
Previously, as Manager, Opportunity, Inclusion, and Belonging at Goodwin Procter LLP, I helped design and implement enterprise talent development strategies supporting engagement, retention, leadership development, and organizational effectiveness. I also developed and executed global leadership development summits across three continents (200+ attendees), facilitated firmwide leadership and inclusion-focused learning programs, managed a $3 million annual budget, and coached my team through performance feedback, development planning, and mentorship.
I’ve also shaped learning experiences through teaching and specialized training work, including Part-time Faculty at The George Washington University School of Business and roles as a Talent Development Specialist and Professional Development and Training Coordinator at major law firms. Across these experiences, I’ve focused on facilitation and execution—combining strategic thinking with relationship management and strong program leadership to deliver measurable impact.
