@sentearaorwig
I build scalable knowledge and operations systems that improve onboarding, workplace experiences, and organizational growth.
What I'm looking for
At AIM, I strengthen workplace operations through documentation, SOPs, and self-service learning resources that improve readiness, onboarding, and consistency. I partner with leadership, HR, IT, and operations teams to identify knowledge gaps and turn them into scalable enablement systems.
Previously at LiveRamp and Pariveda, I led workplace operations, internal events, communications, vendor relationships, budgets, and employee engagement programs across Seattle and Denver. I build practical planning, documentation, and measurement tools that make programs easier to deliver and improve.
My MLIS background informs how I bring structure to fragmented information, manual workflows, and ambiguous operational challenges. I've also supported onboarding and vendor training at Stripe, built learning resources, conducted UX research, and created information architectures rooted in how people actually find and use information.
