What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead learning design and operations, build scalable LMS and recruitment enablement systems, drive data-informed improvements, and mentor cross-functional teams in a collaborative, remote-friendly environment.

I am a Learning Design and Operations Manager with 7+ years of experience building scalable training, curriculum and hiring enablement systems across remote, e-commerce, and EdTech environments.

I have owned end-to-end curriculum strategy, onboarding frameworks, and learning operations for large portfolios — including localisation for 80+ national curriculum subjects and administration of Moodle for 2,500+ users.

My work has driven measurable improvements: reducing manual reporting time by over 50%, increasing learner engagement and pass rates, launching NCLEX and Medical ESL products, and mentoring teams of up to 25 contributors.

I bridge strategic direction with hands-on execution, leveraging tools like Power BI, Articulate Rise 360, Google Apps Script and AI-assisted workflows to deliver efficient, people-centred systems that improve outcomes at scale.
