Bio

Fueled by a hunger to grow, I’ve always focused on developing new skills and knowledge. So when I joined my first startup, as an early customer-hire, that was it for me. Going from rep to Head of Customer Experience has given me so many hands-on opportunities to learn, and I’m excited to share that.

    Growth Support is a platform that provides resources and information to Support Professionals to develop in their careers. My mission is to inspire, inform, and help Support Professionals to take control of their career by being a trusted partner. I help Support Professionals understand what’s possible and have the tools required to make informed decisions that impact their teams, company, customers and opportunities for growth.

    Academy to Innovate HR (AIHR

    I joined AIHR when we were 8 people in 2019, and we are now just over 100.

At the Academy to Innovate HR (AIHR), we offer world-class, online training programs to future-proof HR. AIHR empowers HR professionals worldwide to unlock their full potential, become better at their day-to-day work, and revolutionize HR practices.

    Building tagging structures and taxonomies is a passion of mine, and I have build out single, two, and three layer taxonomies to get the most of our data - but the future is further. Without data, you can't build a business case for connecting CX/Support to real business outcomes I can help anyone struggling to use data to get insight into how to optimize their operations
