I’m an avid hiker and spend most of my non-working hours wandering local trails and forests with my dogs. Weather permitting, I average about 10 km a day—it’s my favorite way to reset and recharge.

📚 Lessons Learned: Launching Zipline Learning and Optimizing the Path Forward
Favorite Zipline feature
Learning: It’s allowed our company to streamline reporting in one platform where we've never been able to do that before.
Fun fact
Rescue is a slippery slope. 😂 My spouse and I currently have 13 dogs and 6 cats. But we've had more at one single time, including turtles, axolotls, chameleons, bearded dragons, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, and even the occasional possum and raccoon.

📚 Lessons Learned: Launching Zipline Learning and Optimizing the Path Forward
Favorite Zipline feature
Learning: Learning is my favorite feature because it enables me to efficiently support hundreds of employees on their unique learning journeys. Since this is often one of their first impressions of the company, it’s important to create a positive and engaging experience from the start.
Fun fact
As a training professional, I wholeheartedly believe you have to take care of the body first in order to take care of the mind! I enjoy cooking (let's be honest—mostly eating) as well as practicing pilates and yoga.

📚 Lessons Learned: Launching Zipline Learning and Optimizing the Path Forward
Favorite Zipline feature
Groups: I love Groups because engagement is so important for employee satisfaction. Relationships and interactivity are so critical to people's happiness. I also love this feature because it has so much more potential than what it currently is and does today.
Fun fact
I have a little online shop I run in my spare time. I design and sell fun youth, kids, and baby apparel, and also have a side screen printing business as well, primarily for company swag and events. The goal for both is to just have some fun with my own shop on the weekends. As a sidebar, I recently also taught myself how to crochet, so perhaps next I'll launch an Etsy shop!

Total Translation: This feature is my favorite because it does what used to take hours in seconds. Instant translations, no copy/paste drama, and field teams actually getting content they can use? Game. Over. I would've staged a parade if we'd had this in store comms.
Fun fact
I'm currently in the process of catching up on the last five years of good television because #momlife. 💁🏻♀️ Find me at camp and tell me what to watch next, please and thank you! 🙏

Task Approval for Photos: As of recently, we’re using photo approvals to dial in our VM in stores. We have designated VM leads in each area who help ensure the photos being submitted are what they are looking for, or they provide feedback to help dial it in.
Fun fact
Adventurer at heart, I’m a proud foodie who’s always chasing the next great bite. When I’m not exploring new cuisines, you’ll find me under the stars, camping in the wild and soaking in nature’s peace. Travel fuels my soul, and I believe the best stories are found off the beaten path. As a Crocs Ambassador, I bring comfort and style wherever I go—because every journey deserves happy feet.

Widgets: I get the most enjoyment and appreciation for widgets because it’s truly what allows you to make your instance unique. We can give all the tools of the platform to a user, but widgets allow a true form of expression that you can’t get with all features. I love watching people get creative with them!
Fun fact
My biggest hobbies are running and eating! I’m also always down to chat about anything sports related.

🚀 Beyond the Message: Launching Initiatives that Stick
Favorite Zipline feature
Zipline Workflows: Automated workflows offer a strategic advantage by reducing manual communication overhead while ensuring consistent delivery. They also enable structured pre-filtering—organizing information into actionable tasks, informative messages, and passive notices—so field teams receive the right content in the right format at the right time.

🚀 Beyond the Message: Launching Initiatives that Stick
Favorite Zipline feature
Widgets: I love using widgets to build a clean and focused homepage experience for our store users. Maybe it's the millennial in me that's nostalgic for the days of a whimsically curated "Yahoo!" homepage experience, but I love adding and organizing hubs that draw attention to important resources!
Fun fact
I love half-marathons and hate their name; I just ran 13 miles, and you're going to make me feel like I only ran half a race?!

🚀 Beyond the Message: Launching Initiatives that Stick
Favorite Zipline feature
Day sheet: It’s the perfect “what” to complement the “why”, a.k.a. your Message! And, of course, there’s just no sweeter feeling than checking something off the ol’ digital to-do list.
Fun fact
Looking for me outside of work? There’s a 99% chance you’ll find me at the pottery studio working on my own stuff, occasionally teaching an intro to wheel throwing workshop, or talking about the latest episode I’ve watched of The Great Pottery Throwdown. (Imagine The Great British Bake Off but with clay instead of cardamom!)
