Lift Off Field Leadership Development: Elevating Leadership

Launched to empower leadership teams with impactful, transformative training I developed Lift Off Field Leadership Development, a dynamic, hands-on program tailored for directors, general managers, and assistant managers across all AMC Theatres nationwide. The program launched with a powerful 2-hour workshop, unveiled at the prestigious national Connections conference in San Diego, captivating over 150 leaders in the audience. But that was just the beginning. From there, I crafted a comprehensive curriculum that included engaging micro-learning modules and an interactive workbook—designed to reinforce learning and drive results long after the workshop.

The Culture of Women

How do we celebrate the unique journeys of women? How do we shift from rewarding singular success to embracing collective growth? These are the questions that fuel this keynote presentation I authored, designed, and developed for a renowned leadership influencer.

Presented at a city-wide conference to an audience of empowered women, this talk explores the winding paths of women's careers, the confidence challenges they face from youth to leadership roles, and the importance of creating a culture that uplifts and supports one another. The presentation doesn’t just stay in the room—it creates a movement.

A signature keynote on the speaker's website, this presentation continues to inspire and transform organizations, empowering women to thrive today, tomorrow, and for years to come.

In collaboration with Project MFG, I created Welding Symbols, a vibrant, highly animated explainer video designed to support their Welding Kits.

Featuring the animated character Ryan, this micro-learning video transforms technical welding concepts into an engaging and accessible learning experience.

The event kicked off with an opening video, showcasing a montage of my work across all presentations, infused with the unmistakable rhythm of a New Orleans Jazz theme. The centerpiece of the conference, the State of the Business presentation, featured a dynamic Monopoly Board design, brought to life with custom graphics, color, and movement to keep the audience engaged.

Empowering Future Readers through AI Innovation

As a mentor through the Sprint Accelerator program, I had the privilege of guiding an entrepreneur whose passion for education and technology led to the creation of an AI-powered app designed to assist children with learning to read. The app featured a library of grade-appropriate books, enabling children to read aloud and receive real-time pronunciation support and word definitions, even in the absence of an adult.

Her mission extended beyond functionality—she sought to curate a diverse collection of works from new authors, raising awareness around the importance of representation in literature. I developed a dynamic presentation used to secure stakeholder funding, bringing her vision one step closer to reality. I'm deeply proud of her achievements and the meaningful impact this innovative project promises for the future of education.

The comprehensive package included a persuasive presentation, an in-depth learner analysis, a detailed design document, and a targeted measurement plan to ensure the program's success at every level.

OMG: How AMC Moved from PowerPoint to Reality TV to Train its Millennial and Gen Z Associates

I had the pleasure of developing this dynamic presentation to life for the AMC Theatres VP and Manager of Learning and Development, to highlight the Undercover Boss simulated learning initiative in Dallas. This retro-themed presentation was delivered at a local ATD chapter meeting. The initiative involved undercover operations led by Directors of Operations, who tested local theatre employees' customer service and safety responses in real-life scenarios. The goal? Catch employees "doing things right"!

This presentation, complete with analysis, measurement stats, and engaging emcee hosted video outtakes, showcases AMC’s forward-thinking approach to training their Millennial and Gen Z workforce.

Peanut Butter & Co.: Making a PB&J

Video 2 in the Series- This engaging video tutorial is the second in a series on how to make the perfect PBJ.

The step-by-step process is brought to life through seamless animations and interactive visuals, making the content both fun and easy to follow.

Throughout the video, the moving cartoon character guides viewers through each step—from spreading the peanut butter to layering the jelly—creating an immersive experience that feels more like a professional animation than a traditional presentation. The result is an educational yet entertaining visual that highlights the art of a classic PBJ.

Through their ProjectUK Accelerator program, they partner with entrepreneurs to test, build, and scale their brands.

It was a key asset in bringing their vision of continuous entrepreneurial education to life, helping them further expand their impact.
