Learning & Development professional driving effective healthcare training, system rollouts, and virtual facilitation.
What I'm looking for
I am a Learning and Development professional with over 15 years of experience designing, developing, and delivering training across complex healthcare and regulated environments. I specialize in instructional design, adult learning principles, and virtual instructor-led training.
I have proven success in client-facing and internal training focused on new system and program rollouts, driving software adoption and utilization while ensuring regulatory compliance and audit readiness. I partner with cross-functional stakeholders to align training with business objectives and performance metrics.
My accomplishments include reducing readiness time by 25% through a standardized onboarding program, transitioning training platforms rapidly to prevent service disruption, and managing compliance across multi-program government contracts and large patient support rollouts.
I am adept at using a broad toolset (including Adobe Learning Manager, SuccessFactors, Moodle, Salesforce, Zendesk, Teams, Zoom, and Cornerstone) to deliver consistent, engaging learning experiences and to measure training impact and learner satisfaction.
