Hi there! Nice to meet you! I've been in the learning & development industry for a long time—more than 25 years. I started in the corporate world, designing training courses at Fidelity Investments in 1999. There, I had the great opportunity to "learn the business of learning" while working with an incredibly talented and disciplined team of experts.I earned my Master’s degree in Management and Organizational Communication from Emerson College in 2002. And in 2003, I branched off on my own professional path to begin freelancing as an instructional designer. Through freelancing, I got a sneak peak inside companies of all shapes and sizes. I often felt like a fly on the wall, learning business lessons from great mentors and picking up best practices (and—just as often—what to avoid) along the way.In 2012, I took the next step in my career and launched The eLearning Company, a custom design and development shop for corporate training. Through the years, I've managed teams of amazing consultants, and together, we've created innovative and practical training programs to help employees improve performance and adopt best practices.Fast forward to 2024, and I'm thrilled to be adding my knowledge and expertise to LEAD Training LLC as their Chief Learning Officer. In this role, I'm focused on strategicially aligning our people, processes, and projects to deliver exceptional training solutions that meet and exceed client expectations. Here's to helping people and businesses thrive through learning!
