Exploring the next stage in my learning and development journey. My leadership philosophy and teaching philosophy are the same: I serve as a guide on the side not a sage on the stage. I am an insightful, trusted, and strategic organizational learning and development leader. I have extensive experience creating, delivering, and assessing learning opportunities, leading and influencing teams of diverse professionals, and managing initiatives to enhance learner and organizational success. I am skilled at identifying underlying challenges to organizational and individual goal attainment, developing solutions, and building relationships to facilitate change. I am a thoughtful listener and questioner. I question assumptions and am candid in my assessments.
