What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Learning & Development or HR-focused role where I can drive compliant training, improve onboarding with data from LMS/HRIS platforms, and build engaging learning experiences that help people succeed.

I’m a Learning and Development Specialist focused on measurable compliance, onboarding success, and practical training delivery. At AbleLight, I administer LMS training compliance for 1,700+ employees in accordance to state regulation, facilitate virtual CPR and First Aid classes, and use Relias training data with stakeholders to improve organization-wide compliance.

I bring an HR and operations background that strengthens how I design programs and support teams. I improved orientation for 10–15 new staff per week by hosting 4 live virtual information sessions, and I develop customized AI-supported e-learning modules for individualized corrective action; prior roles included onboarding support using First Advantage background checks, building an Associate Relations training handbook, and maintaining HRIS databases with accurate employee information.
