Professional Summary

L&D leader who grew from a frontline Trainer into Global L&D Manager, promoted in December 2025, and who has stayed hands-on in instructional design and front-end enablement, working the full ADDIE cycle from needs analysis through curriculum development to evaluation. At 14West / The Contact Center I administer LearnUpon and KnowledgeOwl, and I led the integration of KnowledgeOwl content into Talkdesk's AI Copilot. I also design and build the browser-based decision trees and the custom CSS component library now running in production, while still designing and delivering blended learning programs — live, virtual, and self-paced — across the United States, Ireland, and the Philippines.
