Culture & Development Manager

I work for a Korean lithium-ion battery manufacturer, LG Energy Solution. My team works to improve the employee experience through training, culture, engagement, and rewards and recognition. We support sites across North America.

My role involves constant writing and design work, proposals, communications, contracts, policies. As a manager, I am also an editor. I review and approve writing and design from others, including documents as well as videos and e-learning courses. I have also been involved in billboard campaigns, community outreach, delegation visits, marketing events, and other special projects, all requiring strong writing, design, and communication skills.

From GVSU, I went on to an MFA in Creative Writing from Hollins University. I then taught in prep schools in Texas and North Carolina as well as Interlochen Center for the Arts. I taught World Lit, AP Language, and Creative Writing. I also led the student literary magazines. From teaching, I pivoted into corporate learning in 2022. Along the way, I have also maintained a parallel writing career, publishing stories, attending conferences and residencies, while also working on longer projects.

My document design class and writing with style were foundational for my current role. However, the best benefits also came from workshop. The skill of giving and receiving feedback has been crucial for both teaching and leading. For myself personally, the act of revision is the most cherished part of the writing process.

Relentlessly pursue opportunity. And when it comes, say yes.
