Hi! I'm Erin.
Hi! I'm Erin.
I founded Work Illuminated Consulting after more than a decade of experience in strategic communications, employee engagement, and organizational development. My career path has not been linear, which allows me to bring a diversity of experience from a multitude of disciplines and industries into my offerings.
I have served as an HR Business Partner, guiding managers through critical business decisions such as performance, promotions, and redeployment. I have designed an organization’s competency model framework, informing hiring and career development strategies for more than 1,000 global employees. I have scaled a customer training team, hiring and managing two trainers, and delivering the company’s first successful virtual training program which allowed us to reach our global customer base with just-in-time learning and implementation.
My early career included reporting for local newspapers, as well as content management, marketing, and social media strategy for nonprofits and small businesses. I’m especially proud of my video production work featured in the Explore Research exhibit at the Florida Museum of Natural History, on local PBS stations, and on TeacherTube.
