Sana Biotechnology
October 2021 - December 2022
A true trailblazer during this new era of medicine, the science at Sana is what convinced me to take my first leap into biotech. The ability to modify genes and use cells as medicines provides new tools to meaningfully change the outcome of many human diseases. In my role leading Employee Growth I had the opportunity to work with some of the most brilliant and purpose driven human beings I've ever met. It was the first time in my career where I felt my work connect to something with so much personal meaning. I found myself inspiring personal growth by engaging our talent in the only way I know how, with authenticity, passion and creativity. The quality work I was able to do in partnership with an amazing people team has been a catalyst for my own growth. *Coached people leaders on team/cross functional communication and conflict resolution *Coached people leaders on performance management and difficult conversations *Coached people leaders and individual contributors around areas of personal growth *Worked closely with our CEO & CPO on the design and delivery of weekly all employee huddles *Launched 6-month BetterUp coaching program focused on the whole-person *Launched Sana's first Leadership Labs. 9-month curriculum supporting the development of people leaders at all levels. *Partnered closely with our head of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity on strategy and content *Designed and delivered content in support of Sana's Talent Management strategy *Development and Facilitation of monthly "Learning Days".

Founder
Refine Talent Development
March 2020 - Present
I am sure many people can relate to wanting to start something they can call their own. A few years ago I finally stopped talking about what I wanted to do and put some effort behind it. As I plugged in potential names for this brand that I thought about what would represent my experience and passions and I kept coming back to the word "Refine". The word embodies my journey of personal growth that continues to this day. My growth has been all about making improvements through small changes (borrowed from Google dictionary) and I believe this applies to individuals and companies in the same way. Let's explore ways we can refine what is most important to you. Where we can partner: *Coaching for Senior Leadership (Director to SVP level) *Coaching for People Leaders (Developing & Experienced) *Coaching for Go to Market Teams (a.k.a Sales) *Design, Development and Facilitation of branded internal Coaching/Mentorship Programs *Design, Development and Facilitation of branded Leadership Development Programs *Design, Development and Facilitation of branded Interviewer curriculums *Talent Development consulting and program design *Content design and development for blended learning experiences *Workshop facilitation and speaking engagements Coaching, Training and +4 skills
