At Indeed, I partner with cross-functional SMEs to architect end-to-end learning solutions for global HR Learning and Enablement. I deploy scalable new-hire onboarding, compliance, and manager enablement through Sana Learn and Workday Learning Journeys.

I also led the design and launch of an AI-powered inclusive language guide that increased adoption by 54% within three months and secured executive buy-in for a critical DEI learning initiative.
At the University of Colorado, I collaborated with PhD faculty on concurrent online course builds, developed ILT for faculty, and ensured accessibility and quality standards. I also led onboarding, coaching, professional development, and technical training for a 14-member team.
As an online adjunct lecturer, I designed and delivered a modular graduate-level Games and Learning curriculum in Canvas LMS, using evaluation data to continuously improve course design and instructional strategy.
