About Me

My career has transformed many times throughout my employment.  My first career was in marketing research.  Then I joined a Fortune 500 telecommunications company.  It was there that I truly experienced a culture of career mobility.  I started in the forecasting department projecting telephone line growth.  From there I was offered opportunities in product development, product management, account management, operations planning, and finally business marketing.  It didn't matter that I lacked experience in each of these areas.  I was known as a high-performance continuous learner.

I took a side turn when I left Verizon.  I learned so much about corporate strategy that I realized I could coach small businesses on how to run their company better.  I purchased a Growth Coach franchise in South Texas and went to work.  I also became certified in Human Resources, and in Social and Emotional Intelligence coaching.  Not only did I coach business owners, but I also developed their staff.  

After about eight years, I longed to return to the complexity of corporate America.  But first, I needed to transform once again by completing a master's degree in Organizational Development and Leadership.  Then,  I joined my current employer, a Fortune 500 financial services firm in 2015 as a VP of Talent Development in Enterprise Operations and Technology.  I became passionate about Change Management and completed the Prosci Change Practioner certification in 2021.  

Two years ago, I began leading a career development program helping Operations and Technology employees navigate the company's internal mobility process.  Since then I have dedicated my time and effort to researching the topic.  As result, I continued to enhance the program and last year, over 30% of the participants were promoted!  I realize how important career mobility is for both employees and employers.  There is so much more to be done.   I am on a zealous mission to spread the what, the why, and the how.
