About

I’m an L&D and Organizational Effectiveness consultant passionate about helping organizations connect people strategy with business results. Over 15 years, I’ve designed and delivered enterprise learning and change initiatives across corporate, government, and nonprofit sectors, building leadership capability, driving culture transformation, and elevating team performance. My approach blends data-driven insights, human-centered design, and psychology-based coaching to create learning experiences that are as strategic as they are engaging. Highlights include: • Leading enterprise-wide leadership and customer experience programs for 3,000+ employees. • Managing L&D teams and vendor partnerships on multi-million-dollar contracts. • Guiding nonprofits through culture assessments, strategy alignment, and succession planning. • Leveraging learning analytics and AI-enabled tools to design, measure impact, and continuously improve learning effectiveness. As a certified coach (ICF-ACC) and HR professional (PHR) with a master’s in industrial/organizational psychology, I bring both analytical rigor and deep empathy to every engagement.
