How long have you been employed at Alyeska? What other positions have you held?

I’ve been with TAPS since the mid-90s – I started in IT as a desktop technician, traveling up and down the pipeline fixing computers - moved to Valdez as a IT generalist, coordinating IT services– moved to Anchorage as a member of the System Renewal project, helping redesign our management system – moved into an IT business/project manager role for an IT system - and finally ended up in my current job as a learning and development coordinator.

What do you like the most about being the learning and development coordinator?

I’d have to say the people – working in HR, and specifically L&D (learning & development) has been fun, mainly because of the great people that I get the opportunity to work with!

What has been your favorite position with Alyeska?

I really enjoyed working as a Management System Coordinator for System Renewal – that was a high-performing team where we were able to have a great time and achieve great results … that said, I’d have to say, my current position is my favorite!

Out of all the projects you have worked on at Alyeska, what has been your favorite so far and why?
Most recently, I’ve really enjoyed designing Alyeska’s new hire orientation program. It has been very rewarding to work with people from all over the company to come up with ideas and then put those ideas into action.
