01 / Safety Communications

Safety Spotlight: Building awareness, one week at a time

Mustang Special Utility District · 2026

I designed Safety Spotlight 2026 as a yearlong communication strategy: 12 monthly safety themes, with weekly messages intended to build on one another. Instead of isolated reminders, the structure connected awareness, practical understanding, reflection, and reinforcement across operational safety, employee well-being, and emerging workplace risks.

02 / Onboarding & Employee Experience

Redesigning onboarding around culture and role readiness

Mustang Special Utility District · 2026

I modernized pre-hire checklists that were more than two years out of date, developed role-appropriate e-learning paths for exempt and nonexempt employees, and rebuilt orientation around Respect, Integrity, Safety, and Innovation.

Instead of leading with rules, the presentation connected policies, Paycom, safety systems, and operational technology to how employees experience the organization.

03 / Facilitator Procurement & Experience

Bringing in the right facilitators and setting them up to teach

CoServ (Denton County Electric Cooperative) · 2024–2025

I interviewed and selected outside facilitators for their expertise and willingness to tailor sessions to employees’ work. I also worked through procurement and contractual arrangements that accounted for most of the approximately $15,000 in annual savings I identified.

To improve the experience, I built a digital facilitator welcome guide covering arrival, classroom setup, and what to expect. I arranged lunch for full-day visits and shared participant feedback to inform future sessions.

04 / Leadership Development

Developing leaders before the promotion

CoServ (Denton County Electric Cooperative) · 2024–2025

I helped make the case for developing employees before they entered leadership roles and supported role-based development work with organizational leaders. The approach aimed to connect leadership expectations, purposeful learning, and on-the-job application rather than treating promotion as the starting line.

05 / Learning Systems

Standing up an LMS from scratch

CoServ (Denton County Electric Cooperative) · 2024–2025

I helped establish and administer an enterprise learning environment organized around employee roles. The work connected accessible learning paths, compliance training, content architecture, and reporting so employees could find relevant material and leaders could see progress.
