ABOUT

From monitoring center operations
to designing training that drives results.

I started my career in the fast-paced world of alarm monitoring — processing police, fire, and medical emergencies while maintaining attention to detail under pressure. That experience taught me what high-stakes training really means: when the curriculum works, people perform. When it doesn't, the consequences are real.

That insight led me to pursue a Master of Education in Educational Technology Leadership at the University of Louisiana at Monroe (3.91 GPA), building on my English degree from UC Riverside. I now combine instructional design frameworks like ADDIE and SAM with data analytics to create training programs that produce measurable outcomes.

I currently serve as both a Training Specialist at Rapid Response Monitoring Services and a Technical Project Manager at AdVran Inc., where I coordinate cross-functional teams on cybersecurity and digital transformation projects.
