I specialize in designing and implementing integrated talent strategies, including learning & development programs.

I was recruited to Indeed by a former Adecco colleague. I took the opportunity in Marketing, a departure from my HR experience, in order to grow my skills and return to a client-facing role. The Talent Intelligence team was a perfect place to bring together my recruiting, sales and facilitation experience. As a Talent Strategy Advisor, I consulted with and trained clients on a wide range of topics that impacted their ability to attract job seekers and retain employees. My role was part data analyst, part storyteller. I was primarily responsible for engaging with executive decision makers in a sales enablement capacity. I was KPId on influenced revenue. (My role, along with approximately 1000 others, was eliminated effective June 2024 due to an organizational restructuring.)

As Director of Learning Solutions, I was accountable for the design and delivery of the L&D strategy, the technology that supported it, delivery and assessment of all programs. My role was a leadership position within the Americas Talent Management team with responsibility for multiple brands from our global portfolio. My key stakeholders were VP+ Executive leaders across HR, the Americas business leaders, Global Talent and HR leaders.

In this role, I oversaw the delivery of our training and development programs and their impact on colleague performance. I managed a team of colleagues responsible for providing on-demand e-learning solutions, live virtual sessions and live instructor-led training courses, as well as the evaluation of all programs. I was accountable for alignment with our Performance Management and DE&I teams, collaborating on multiple projects and program roll-outs.

As a Performance Consultant with the Adecco Group, I partnered with business and HR leaders to create and deliver both functional training and professional development programs. In this role, I supported multiple brands within our portfolio in the functional areas of recruiting, sales and management. In functional training we measured success by evaluating our participants' business performance, showing a direct ROI. In development programs, our objective was to positively impact employee experience, retention and internal promotions. With certifications in Birkman, EQi 2.0 and EQ 360, I provided 1:1 coaching to colleagues at all levels and lead team workshops to improve effectiveness.

As a Branch Manager, I worked with clients in a variety of industries to help solve their workforce challenges. I oversaw a sales and recruitment team that delivered candidates for over 100 active clients in a $5m portfolio. I increased branch profitability by 137% in one year.

Working for Crane was my first departure from a retail career. I was an inside sales rep who consulted with small business owners all over the country to create effective direct mail campaigns. I didn't know it at the time, but it was good preparation for my Adecco Staffing Branch Manager role: meeting decision makers, listening to their pain, and providing the right solution.

My first love: the Gap.I started working for the Gap as a part-time sales associate while I was in college. I was promoted four times in four years, ultimately becoming the General Manager of a $4.8 million location, where I consistently met or exceeded budget expectations for three consecutive years. I was so Gap loyal, I continued to work as a sales associate later in life as a fun second income. In total, I spent 9 years with the company.
