What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead organizational change and training for large ERP or process rollouts. I want a collaborative environment where I can use ADKAR, adult learning, and impact measurement to drive adoption, reduce friction, and deliver measurable results.

I’m a PROSCI Certified, doctoral level educated change and learning professional with 13+ years of experience across education, training, research, and learning and development. I combine adult learning theory, change management, and data synthesis to help organizations adopt new systems and behaviors with confidence.

In my current role as an Organizational Change Manager, I led a company-wide Oracle ERP implementation, driving a 30% increase in operational efficiency through targeted stakeholder management. I spearheaded change initiatives for a 1,000+ user rollout, achieving a 95% adoption rate and aligning training and new process adoption to organizational goals.

I design and deliver training programs for large global audiences using ADKAR and instructional design approaches, leveraging tools like Smartsheet to plan, measure, and improve outcomes. Most recently, I supported 800+ global employees and cut onboarding time to the new system by 40%, reducing post-deployment support tickets through comprehensive change management training.

Previously, I served as a Change Management | Training Consultant, where I trained end users and senior managers using Rise 360 and Microsoft tools, improving user confidence and reducing wait times by 12%. Across engagements (including Toyota Financial Services and multiple Texas districts), I’ve coached leaders, facilitated adoption strategies, evaluated impact through assessments, and improved change-adoption results—consistently using data-informed planning, clear communication, and stakeholder readiness to drive measurable outcomes.
