And I have produced or led the production of over 400 end user hours of training. Most recently I have focused on innovation within the learning industry to inject the latest neuroscience and adult learning methodologies into the curriculum my teams develop and manage. I have over 20 years of experience in Human Performance (Learning and Collaboration), with expertise in business readiness and training, including all organizational change management components related to leadership alignment, stakeholder engagement, communications, and learning.
