Q: What inspired you to join the team here?
I was looking for a new challenge with a lofty wish list in-hand; I wanted to work in an environment that offered the opportunity to expand my horizons as a learning professional, work cross-functionally, be creative, team up with driven colleagues, pursue meaningful goals, and make a tangible impact for learners and customers. CareAcademy checked all of those boxes. It was an easy decision, especially after meeting with my wonderful colleagues-to-be.
Q: What's something you're proud to have worked on?
It’s tough to choose, though developing the onboarding curriculum for hospice team members in 2023 was an incredibly rewarding project due to the sheer amount of collaboration involved, both internally and externally. It was fantastic to create something from scratch with the team and expand CareAcademy’s ability to reach, teach, and impact new audiences.
Q: What does a day in the life of Content look like?
It’s cliché, but every day is different! Regulations, technology, and our customers’ needs are constantly evolving, which keeps us on our toes. Every day involves research, reviewing and refining our content, and creating new training to ensure we continue to provide effective and compliant learning experiences.
Q: What is it like being a part of the Content team?
It’s like being on the ’92 Dream Team. We’re not quite as tall, but each member is an expert in their field, committed to doing excellent work, and unselfish. I feel lucky to “take the court” with this team each day.
Q: What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I moonlight in a wedding/cover band, eat as much delicious food as possible, stay active (I’ve recently taken up randonneuring), and spend time with loved ones.
Q: What’s a fun fact about you?
At a previous job, I had the chance to write/record a few educational jingles to teach folks about cyber security best practices. Make sure you update that smart toaster!
Q: What is the CareAcademy value that most resonates with you?
Adapt: Evolve with Purpose.
It feels like change has been accelerating at a crazy pace, especially with the rise of AI and the many shifts in our world. This rapid evolution really highlights the importance of acting with intention and considering how today’s decisions shape tomorrow’s outcomes. I’m inspired by CareAcademy’s commitment to being adaptive because it challenges us to stay curious and open to possibilities, while remaining grounded in our mission. It’s not just about keeping up with the latest technologies or trends; it’s about adopting them in a way that meaningfully improves how we serve our customers and learners.
Q: What’s your favorite memory from working at CareAcademy?
I’ve really appreciated opportunities to catch up and spend quality face-to-face time with my colleagues, whether at company summits, conferences, or leadership team meetings. The 2024 pickleball and basketball tournaments are a standout memory!
