After I graduated from CIE in 2000, I decided to use my adult learning skills in workplace education. I first spent four years in Korea teaching ESOL. Then I took a position in management development for an 8000-employee, not for profit hospital/ health care system in Buffalo, NY.  While there, I participated in a global health ministry where I went to both Kingston, Jamaica and Port-au-Prince, Haiti to provide community primary healthcare.

In 2009, my roots in the US Army brought me to the Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare System in New Jersey for seven years as the system's Designated Learning Officer. I enjoyed overseeing veterans' health information outreach centers and offered employee learning in many areas.

From 2018-2023, I was the learning leader with a sub-agency in the Department of Defense. I am currently in charge of workplace learning at a sub-agency within the Department of Justice. Helping employees learn better people and resiliency skills are my areas of focus. 

I recently was in contact with Azat Myradov who was in Washington for training as part of his position with the U.S. Embassy in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. [12-23]
