About

Learning and enablement professional with 9+ years of experience designing programs that turn complexity into clarity — across operations, HR technology, customer success, and organizational development. I specialize in building the infrastructure that helps people do their best work: onboarding frameworks that reduce ramp time, LMS-based certification tracks, SOPs that bring consistency to chaos, and training that actually sticks. My background spans SaaS implementations, benefits administration, CRM adoption, and cross-functional program management — giving me a rare ability to speak the language of both the technical teams building the product and the people who need to use it every day. Over the course of my career I've led client-facing implementations at bswift, built a 100+ resource knowledge management system at Kooth that measurably cut repetitive service requests, and currently coordinate training and continuous improvement initiatives across engineering, operations, and leadership at ASSA ABLOY. I've maintained 100% enrollment accuracy across complex multi-client portfolios, reduced new user ramp time by 20%, and consistently earned trust with senior stakeholders by showing up prepared, communicating clearly, and delivering on what I promise. I'm energized by organizations that take people development seriously — where enablement is seen as a strategic function, not an afterthought. If you're building something and need someone who can translate vision into programs, bring order to ambiguity, and make your teams more effective, I'd love to connect.

What I'm looking for
