👋 Hi, I'm Eric
I am an experienced Learning & Talent Development Leader with over 15 years of combined experience in mid to large-scale program design, talent & organizational development, leadership, learning consultation, instructional design, and LMS management. I have over a decade of experience in graphic design, audio & video, and copywriting that supports an unparalleled quality of work.
My Work
Organizational Development
Whether it's developing strategies to manage organizational change, standardizing processes across mergers, or finding ways to build employee engagement - I love breaking big problems down into manageable solutions. I am constantly searching for ways to improve processes and move the needle.
Learning & Leadership Development
I am extremely passionate about helping others develop their knowledge and skills. From partnering with experts in building successful blended learning & leadership programs to revamping and standardizing entire onboarding practices company-wide, the thrill of seeing people grow is a constant motivator.
Media & Instructional Design
In the modern world, successful adoption requires top notch visuals and user experience. I harness a decade of design skills to create beautiful eLearnings, instructional videos, workbooks, handouts, facilitator guides, and program branding. I love finding new, creative ways to communicate complex ideas.
