15+ Years Delivering Enterprise Learning Strategy, Leadership Development & High-Impact Capability Programs
Unlike many in my field, I pursued my M.S. in Organizational Learning and Development during the 2011 recession in Boston, a global hub of education and innovation. At 27, while completing my degree, I trained more than 1,000 young women in confidence and personal development through my first instructional role, establishing the foundation for a career focused on growth, leadership, and measurable impact.
​
At Babson College, ranked #1 globally for Entrepreneurship, I redesigned the Student Leadership Program assessment framework through a 40 page strategic report, the first major revision in 14 years. The work was recognized by the Dean of the Coaching for Leadership and Teamwork Program and strengthened my focus on leadership development and organizational effectiveness.
​
I later moved to New York City as a Corporate Training Analyst with National Grid, where I transformed a traditional onboarding process into a structured 14 day learning program and trained more than 135 union new hires while supporting a workforce of 165 employees and leadership.
​
Over the past 15+ years, I have grown into a multidisciplinary Learning and Development Consultant, Trainer, and Coach, delivering full cycle learning solutions across private, federal, and Fortune 500 environments including the U.S. Navy, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Carnival Cruise Lines, PwC, Walmart, and Wells Fargo.
My work spans leadership development, enterprise learning design, and organizational training across healthcare, finance, telecommunications, retail, technology, and military environments.
​
In parallel, I developed expertise in strategic communications, public relations, and experiential program delivery, leading multi sponsor retreats, learning initiatives, and media driven programs reaching audiences of more than 120,000. These experiences strengthened my ability to align learning, communication, and organizational identity to drive engagement and performance.
