About me
In 2009 I packed up my 20 years of professional experience, MBA and Senior Professional Human Resources (SPHR) certification, put my belongings in a 10x10 storage unit, and set out on my first field assignment with Doctors Without Borders. I spent the next decade working throughout Africa, the Middle East, in the Philippines and Haiti engaging with cultures far different from my own, extreme poverty, active conflict, natural disasters, epidemics, and devastated infrastructure.
In that time I learned about navigating the complexities of working with multi-cultural teams. Walking those blurry lines between work and life. Balancing expectations with compassion. And trying (yet often failing) to manage the rift between productivity and burnout. Each and every experience transformed all the many preconceived notions I had about how the world works and what it means to bring your heart to work.
In 2020 I came home and began working as an Instructional Designer with this incredible organization. These last years I have had the absolute pleasure of using all the tools in my toolkit and all the lessons learned from the field to work with the best team ever to create very cool, engaging, and transformational trainings for our managers and supervisors around the world.
