PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
E.W. SCRIPPS 2025-present
At E.W. Scripps, I serve as the lead learning partner for company-wide initiatives, including creating advanced, AI-powered and scenario-based simulations to drive adoption of AI tools, developing the training strategy and materials to support a company-wide performance management Pay for Performance structure rollout, created a program for senior news station leaders to learn how to budget and manage their station’s Profit & Loss statements, and several skill sprints: phased, targeted micro-learning videos, simulations, and team huddle guides that make up a more chunked out, manageable learning experience, delivering training to folks “just in time” for when they’ll need it, and meeting them where they’re at by injecting training into their jobs, rather than asking them to step away from their jobs for training.
My work has launched scalable programs adopted across 60+ locations and established consistent, high-quality design and facilitation standards that improve role readiness, leadership development, and operational excellence.
SOFI (CONTRACT) MARCH 2025-JULY 2025
Developed and updated training programs for Fraud Operations teams to meet regulatory and compliance requirements; partnered with Compliance, Legal, and regulatory stakeholders to ensure training aligned with industry standards and audit expectations.

At Square, I designed modern, interactive learning experiences and led large-scale global enablement initiatives that supported onboarding, GTM launches, and product rollouts across sales, support, and product teams. My project team and I built over 85 custom learning assets in two months, from custom micro-learning videos to certification programs, while streamlining development & delivery through innovative uses of AI, ultimately saving the company over $100K in labor and development costs. As a consultative partner to cross-functional teams, I translated complex business needs into scalable, human-centered training that drove measurable improvements in adoption, performance, and process accuracy.

This interactive portfolio was built in Storyline 360 a few years back and remains one of my favorite showcases of my learning experience design skills—from instructional strategy to user experience to visual storytelling. While the personal details and years of experience are now outdated (I currently have 8+ years of experience and live in beautiful Ashland, Oregon), the thinking, craft, and care behind this piece are as strong as ever.
