About Me
I'm an Onboarding Specialist at LPL Financial with a background in education, instructional design, and relationship-driven support. Throughout my career, I've been drawn to work that centers around people: helping someone navigate a new experience, answering questions, and simplifying complex information.
After four years in education, I transitioned into HR onboarding, where I now bring those strengths to the employee experience. I hold a master's degree in Education Technology and Instructional Design, which gives me an additional perspective on learning, training, and process improvement.
