As a seasoned leader in Training and Development, I've spent my career at the forefront of shaping innovative learning strategies and driving transformative change within complex organizations. Currently serving as the Chief of Training and Deputy Chief Learning Officer at the US Coast Guard Force Readiness Command, I oversee global training initiatives for over 45,000 active-duty, 7,000 civilian, and 6,000 reserve personnel.In my current role, I am leading a paradigm shift in Coast Guard workforce training by spearheading several initiatives including the Agile "A" School Pilot Program, resulting in a remarkable 54% reduction in training time and ensuring faster deployment of qualified personnel. This achievement not only streamlines our processes but also exemplifies my commitment to efficiency and readiness.I'm particularly proud of my contribution to the upskilling initiative for FORCECOM's training and assessment workforce, aligning with the Ready Workforce 2030 strategy. This effort reflects my dedication to not just meeting but exceeding the demands of the modernized learning landscape.During my tenure as Commanding Officer at the US Coast Guard Training Center, I orchestrated the largest modernization of training in Coast Guard history amid the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This included transitioning 24 advanced technical courses to virtual platforms, reducing costs by $2.5 million, and increasing student throughput capacity by nearly 70%.From overseeing the Coast Guard's Marine Inspector Performance Support Architecture program to building partnerships for the development of the Coast Guard cyber workforce, I've consistently demonstrated my ability to navigate complex challenges and deliver results.My commitment extends beyond national borders. As Commanding Officer of the US Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown, I strengthened international partnerships, consulting with the Philippine Coast Guard and contributing to the development of their organizational training system.
