The Gist of itWith over fifteen years of L&D experience, I specialize in crafting course content, designing interactive learning activities, facilitating instructor-led sessions, and delivering training materials across various environments. For the latter part of my career, I've been dedicated to developing and executing strategies, processes, and tools aimed at empowering new sales reps. My passion for education stems from my deep understanding of how people think and learn, driving me to craft dynamic, learner-focused experiences that deliver measurable outcomes and smiles. Throughout my career, I have cultivated leadership skills that enable me to steer strategic plans and project initiatives effectively. I excel in delegating tasks, managing project deliverables, and providing guidance and mentorship to team members throughout the process. I find joy in coaching others to reach their maximum potential by conveying empathy and honing in on individuality and intrinsic motivation. My expertise encompasses a comprehensive understanding of instructional design modalities, user experience (UX) principles, adult learning theory, evaluation methods, and agile methodology. My style is bold and high-production, using micro-learning snippets, with commercial-like qualities, underscored with gamification fun! To stay relevant, I actively engage with current learning trends, explore new content from other L&D professionals, leverage emerging software, and participate in activities that engage the vibrant learning and development community. This commitment to continuous learning enables me to stay at the forefront of my field and deliver innovative solutions to meet evolving needs. |
