I enjoy finding ways to infuse communications and training with lively personality and one-team/go-team culture, and especially seek opportunities to strengthen internal teams through educational and support resources.
Experience

San Francisco, California, United States
Meta’s Content Designers (CDs) ensure the language of each element of a user’s experience is clear and resonant. I owned global onboarding and continuing education for CDs and CD Managers and strategized with leadership to craft change-management education to support major growth initiatives.
• Strategized and owned learning programs – onboarding, continuing education, change management, manager training – primarily for 500-700 workers in Meta’s CD community
• Proactively tracked developments in products and tools, consulted with leadership, communicated with learners, collaborated with subject matter experts (SMEs), and conferred with cross-company teams to identify the need for, and develop, new learning efforts
• Partnered with leadership in change-management efforts to achieve high completion of new training that aligned with evolving requirements for the CD role
• Coordinated with cross-company colleagues to align learning programs with other company efforts and priorities
• Curated a catalog of learning experiences, ensuring existing courses were well maintained and new courses were created as needed
• Crafted communications to create a consistent program voice to deliver experiences at scale while reflecting the personal nature of the learning journey
• Leveraged learning data, participant feedback, and direct learning observation, to improve programs and offerings
• Recruited, onboarded, and coached SMEs to own course content and instructors to host learning sessions
• Vetted, hired, trained, and managed hands-on learning coordinators, who executed daily programming and provided support for learners and instructors
• Nurtured rich working relationships within the CD community and across Meta to engage cross-functional colleagues as sources of insight and as project partners
• Instilled a culture of program customer service to ensure learners felt confident in basic support and our commitment to their continued success
