What I'm looking for

I’m looking to work in learning and development or client experience programs focused on client success, onboarding, and curriculum that drives measurable outcomes—partnering closely with teams in a people-first, growth-oriented culture.

I’m a Learning & Development leader and strategic training facilitator with 15+ years of experience designing high-impact learning programs and delivering them in-person or virtually. I’m known for creating engaging training environments and scalable curricula that help partners thrive.

I bring a client-experience mindset, coaching capability, and strong operational instincts—partnering cross-functionally to refine lifecycle stages and maintain accurate CRM records in HubSpot. I’m passionate about instruction, professional development, and customer success through culturally responsive, adult-learning centered facilitation.

I’ve designed and facilitated 100+ workshops and learning experiences for corporate and non-profit clients. My work centers on translating brand standards and complex processes into clear, actionable experiences that build executive presence, communication strength, and change leadership.

Most recently, as a Customer Success Coach & Program Advisor at The Speaker Lab, I represented the client voice in feedback loops to improve curriculum, platform features, and delivery. I supported a 6-month portfolio of 35–70 clients, achieved 95%+ satisfaction, and helped drive a 125% increase in VIP participation and event attendance.
