"We should all walk through the world with the security that knowledge and education brings."
As an agent of change, I am known for initiating transformation within an organization by motivating its employees to strive for personal and professional growth and excellence. I believe that instructional design, as well as training and facilitation, are a science. Many people think that they can train; however, the ones who understand the science behind the adult learning process, stand out as exceptional trainers. I pride myself on getting to know each individual I work with while presenting a personable demeanor. I am a problem solver who identifies opportunities for growth and design solutions that work. As a strong communicator, I get to the core of people by understanding what makes them “tick” and encouraging genuine growth. Simply put, when I leave a company, I hope to have left it a better place.
