Professional Feedback

Allison White | Behavioral Scientist, Atlassian’s Teamwork Lab

Thanks for all of your work over these past ~6 months on our community campaigns, owning the play template and content standards, and bringing our new SoW playbook to life! I deeply appreciate your proactivity and ownership mentality.
Paul Petroski | Senior Manager of Learning & Development

Liz is one of the most gifted Instructional Designers I've ever worked with. She has a unique knack at understanding business needs and negotiating with her stakeholders on the ideal solution. While performing a needs analysis, she makes sure no stone is left uncovered to ensure her work meets the need and exceeds expectations.
Jamie Nickerson | Senior Global Sales Training Manager

I appreciate that Liz works strategically to make a plan for how to achieve the results she is looking for. She starts by looking at the long term objective or result needed and works backwards to understand what needs to be done to achieve that.
Joseph Constantino | Senior Sales Enablement Trainer

I've worked with some great designers in the sales industry, but Liz is one of a kind. Aside from her talent in instructional design, she also has the ability to be the Program Manager of the LMS/Sales Enablement platform. Our department functioned like a start-up so we wore multiple hats and if it wasn't for her, it would've been much more chaotic if it wasn't for her organizational skills.
Karin Ballard | Senior Sales Trainer

Liz excels at hearing a vast amount of information and then spelling out the learning objective and content in a very detailed, well designed and easily comprehensible manner. Liz is a producer. She has made a tremendous impact to our team’s approach to training content.
Jacob Boenisch | Vice President of Sales Enablement

Nice work, Liz. Thank you for setting the stage and owning this content. We are blessed to have you as a contractor.
Doug Roberts | IT Manager

You rock. I’m glad you’re in charge of everything now.
