What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth and values collaboration, where I can apply my skills in training and development.

I'm a dedicated business professional with a strong background in Business Administration, Training & Development, and Recruiting. My experience spans various roles, including Administrative Assistant to the Chief of Strategy at Hamilton County School District, where I manage financial accounts, coordinate travel, and oversee purchasing. I pride myself on my ability to streamline processes and enhance communication within the organization.

Previously, I served as a Training Specialist at Walt Disney World, where I facilitated training events and managed project logistics. My role involved instructional design and technical writing, ensuring that training materials were effective and engaging. I also have experience in marketing management and social media, which has equipped me with a diverse skill set that I leverage to drive results in any role I undertake.
