About Me

About Me

With over 25 years of extensive experience in learning and development, I’m committed to fostering a culture of continuous growth and innovation within organizations. My professional journey has been marked by a dedication to developing and implementing innovative learning strategies that position organizations for impactful development.

I have held prominent leadership roles, including Vice President of Learning at McKesson, Global Director of Learning at Texas Instruments, and Director of Learning for Ascension. My experience extends to managing the design and development of custom learning solutions for various esteemed organizations, including Travelocity Business, Whirlpool, R.J. Reynolds, Covidien Health, Baylor Scott & White Health, Pizza Hut and the Department of Defense.

My academic background includes an undergraduate degree in business from Baylor University, complemented by a master's degree in educational technology leadership from George Washington University.

This unique blend of education and experience equips me with a robust foundation in learning strategy creation and execution, custom learning solution development, learning technology assessment, implementation and measurement, as well as a deep understanding of mobile learning, social learning, adult learning theory, and instructional design.

I'm passionate about the juxtaposition of learning theory, creativity and technology to enable true behavior change, and I look forward to continuing to drive transformative learning experiences that resonate within organizations.
