About

I design learning experiences that make complex SaaS products easier to understand, adopt, and use. Across SaaS, cybersecurity, IT operations, and financial services, I’ve built a career focused on learning, enablement, and digital adoption. I’ve worked across fast-paced product environments and large-scale distribution networks, consistently turning complex systems into clear, practical learning experiences. I bring a cross-industry perspective to learning and enablement challenges, shaped by experience in product education, technical training, and large-scale behavioral change initiatives. I also pick up new tools and systems quickly, often working closely with Product, Customer Success, Marketing, and Support teams to align learning with real user needs. I like working on messy, complex problems and finding ways to make things simpler, clearer, and more usable for people. ✨ Recent highlights include: • Designing certification-based learning programs for SaaS platforms supporting over 10,000 learners with strong completion and satisfaction outcomes • Building AI-assisted workflows that improved content creation efficiency and reduced manual production work in learning development • Leading enterprise-scale training and enablement programs for cybersecurity and IT management products across global audiences •Driving digital adoption and behavioral change initiatives across national distribution networks in a large financial services organization Recently, I’ve also been integrating AI into my workflow to streamline content creation, analyze support trends, and improve how training is designed and delivered. 💡 I bring a strong can-do mindset to my work and feel most comfortable in situations where things are unclear or fast-moving, then turning them into structured, workable solutions. 💡 Specialties: Customer Education, SaaS Enablement, Learning Experience Design, Instructional Design, Product Adoption, Technical Training, Curriculum Development, Digital Learning, LMS Management, AI-assisted Learning Design, Cross-functional Program Delivery
