About Me
I am originally from Utica, in Upstate New York. As an undergraduate, I majored in Political Science with a minor in Pre-Law, aspiring to attend law school. However, upon graduation, I decided to against law school to begin my professional journey.
My career started in the Office of Admissions at my alma mater, where I recruited undergraduate students from various US territories. During this time, I collaborated closely with the Office of Orientation & First-Year Programming, which eventually led to my transition into overseeing that department. This role deepened my understanding of goal setting and fueled my passion for designing and implementing educational programs to achieve desired outcomes - on behalf of the individual as well as the organization.
After a few years, I shifted to Learning & Development at a public accounting firm. This role allowed me to expand upon my skills in programming and engagement on a broader scale, incorporating innovative systems and technology into the learning process. Starting as a Learning & Development Program Coordinator, I advanced to Learning & Development Specialist and now serve as Learning Technology Manager. Each step and day in my L&D career thus far has taught me invaluable lessons and solidified my commitment to advancing in this field.
After researching this program, pursuing a Master’s in Learning Design & Technology at USD seems to be a natural progression in my professional journey. I am excited to take a deep dive into learning theories, best practices, and the methodologies behind effective learning design. What is gained as a student MS-LDT student will not only enhance my current work but also empower me to grow in what I hope will be a long and fulfilling career in this ever-evolving space.
