Meet the Board

This month’s featured board member is our talented and dedicated VP of Technology. Jae describes herself as someone who has always “been a club person” so it’s no surprise she’s found a place she belongs here at ATD Maine.

Jae joined the board in 2020, just as the world transitioned to virtual everything and she has been doing all things technology since. Something she appreciates most about being a part of ATD is having a community of people who all speak her language and who offer advice and shared experiences.

Meet Jae!

Jae has worked in the corporate world, as part of HR, in K12 and Higher Education. Much of the focus of her work over the years has been technical training and instructional design. She enjoys the dynamic environment of L&D and being able to do all sorts of roles. She currently works for the University of Maine Augusta.

So what’s her favorite part of L&D?

Jae enjoys taking big, complex topics and breaking them down into digestible chunks. She takes trainings and makes them better to expand the audience they reach. Over the years, she has spent a lot of time focused on e-learning and teaching instructors how and why to integrate technology and use LMS.

Jae’s goal is to make people feel good about themselves.

When Jae isn’t working on L&D projects or volunteering with ATD, you might find her working on something for her sorority board or working at Sephora or snowboarding. She dosen’t like to sit still.

Whether it’s through making the learning experience better for students and employees or helping a customer find a new lipstick, Jae has the same goal: to make people feel good about themselves.

If you would like to connect with Jae, find her at an upcoming in-person ATD Maine meeting, or reach out to her at technology@tdmaine.org
