• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with instructional designers, technologists, and SMEs to translate high-level learning designs into effective, scalable development programs.

• Project Leadership: Manage large-scale, medium- to high-complexity learning consulting projects from inception to implementation. Align business and delivery lanes to implement solutions that drive behavioral change.
