About Peggy Young

Learning from and teaching others is my passion. Having studied different cultures and immersing myself in them while living abroad, I have gained an appreciation for turning experiences into learning and teaching opportunities. I excel at making new connections as well as leveraging existing connections in order to identify business solutions that embrace 21st century demands while preserving quality and reliability. My talent is building and leading effective teams that embrace innovation, transform traditional thinking, and deliver consistent results. Prior to working at Pearson I developed a proven track record of success in the recruiting industry serving as a human resources manager for a fundraising organization and as an account manager for a recruiting firm. Having served in the U.S. military, my position provided me with opportunities to assess community needs, develop outreach initiatives, and implement sustainable solutions.I am best known for demonstrating the following:• Developing and leading teams that produce solid results while demonstrating creative and cost-effective strategies• Winning the loyalty of business partners and colleagues across global and local business platforms resulting in repeat business and elevated external brand promotion• Discovering opportunities to collaborate with others for the purpose of improving processes and providing training and development opportunities • Leading individuals and providing them with learning opportunities that help propel their personal career developmentIn order to carryout a lifelong pursuit of learning, I am continuing my education and learning all I can from the world's leading education company. I recently completed my Master's degree in Professional Counseling. My interest lies in clinical counseling and assessment administration, with an emphasis on crisis intervention, military counseling, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
