Learning & Development Specialist
Welcome to my online portfolio! Here you’ll find highlights of my work in learning, leadership, and professional development. This site brings together my resume, project examples, and research to showcase how I design engaging programs, coach others, and use data to drive growth and results.
I am a Learning & Development Specialist with over 15 years of experience in education, coaching, and organizational leadership. My career began in the classroom, where I taught middle school math, SAT prep, and science/STEM before transitioning into roles as an Instructional Coach and Assistant Principal. In those positions, I built and facilitated professional learning programs, led onboarding, and used data-driven decision-making to achieve measurable outcomes such as an 80% increase in staff effectiveness, a 3% rise in attendance, and a 20% reduction in truancy.
With a BBA in Business Administration, an M.Ed. in Education, and multiple leadership and coaching certifications, I bring a unique blend of business knowledge, adult learning expertise, and practical leadership experience. I am passionate about educational innovation and workforce development, and I thrive on creating programs that empower people, close skill gaps, and strengthen organizational culture.
