      Manage projects and deliveries to meet business needs. Oversee 10 designers (U.S. and global) Coordinate project requests with stakeholders and designers to complete global deliveries that have a high impact of company initiatives. I analyze the current needs of various departments and create training curriculums that are both fun and engaging to help the new hire assimilate to their role. My work is done virtually, to create standardization in training and deliver a positive experience while we navigate the remote working atmosphere. In this role, I utilized my people leader and customer-focused skills to ensure the success of 30+ hospital partners and 75+ employees. This included strategic implementation of standardized workflows, onboarding new clients, and ensuring metrics were met for staff and hospital partners. Developed standard reporting for key performance metrics for both employees and executive leadership. The data was presented in a clear manner and I provided commentary to explain any changes within the data. This data analysis directly impacted policy change, which I was able to champion and implement for the department standards.
