What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading learning strategy and LMS operations where I can design scalable, accessible learning experiences, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive measurable enablement outcomes.

I am an instructional design leader with deep expertise overseeing enterprise-wide learning strategies across fast-paced, technology-driven organizations. I design scalable learning programs, lead LMS administration, and align content development with evolving business goals and verticals like cybersecurity.

I apply UX principles, adult learning theory, and modular architecture to enhance learner engagement and retention. I have overseen full instructional lifecycles from needs analysis and stakeholder collaboration to curriculum delivery and system optimization.

I have built cross-functional partnerships with technical R&D and sales engineering teams to drive digital learning transformations, support global enablement efforts, and deliver modular, localized curricula across SaaS, cloud, and cybersecurity environments. At VMware I delivered a 100+ page enablement book adopted and localized globally.

I am committed to continuous innovation, accessibility, and instructional excellence, with hands-on experience administering Absorb LMS and rebuilding learning platforms for improved UX, scalability, and reporting accuracy.
