I began my career in transportation as a sales representative for FedEx. Now, as the Director of Learning & Development and Organizational Effectiveness, I work to enhance talent and skill capabilities by offering development and engagement experiences to our employees, which includes new hire onboarding, regulatory compliance training, leadership development and technical and systems training. I also work on the creation of HR models for employee engagement surveys, succession planning, performance management, and employee selection to help hiring managers select candidates. Our work supports just under 50k team members.

The servant-oriented nature of trucking. Until recently, trucking or, “the art of trucking” I believe was taken for granted by those not in the industry. It is truly the foundation of how society gets to enjoy all the comforts and amenities in life. Food, clothing, shelter, supplies: at some point, had to be on a truck to be delivered. Trucking is definitely the life source to how we live and interact with each other.
