Tell us about your career journey and what led you to join the Learning and Development team at GoDaddy.

I started my journey at GoDaddy as a Guide, helping customers and building connections every day. From there, I moved into a Supervisor role, where I got the chance to coach and support Agents more directly. But deep down, I always knew my heart was set on the Learning and Development team. That passion for education actually started before GoDaddy—back in my Sephora days as an Educational Lead. I fell in love with the way learning could transform not just results, but people’s confidence and growth and I knew GoDaddy had a real strength in this through L&D. Since then, my journey has been about combining my love for people, coaching, and creating meaningful learning experiences—and I’m grateful to be part of a team that helps employees grow and thrive.

What have you learned about yourself through the projects you’ve worked on?

Through the projects I’ve worked on, I’ve learned a lot about myself. I’ve found that I thrive in that sweet spot where creativity meets structure—whether I’m welcoming new hires into our values, giving feedback to make learning content shine, or coaching on sales skills. I also discovered (thanks to StrengthsFinder here at GoDaddy!) that my natural “Woo” energy is one of my biggest strengths—it helps me connect with people, spark excitement, and make learning fun and approachable. And honestly, I’ve learned that the magic happens when I step outside my comfort zone—that’s where I grow the most, and where I get to support and inspire others to do the same.

How does GoDaddy’s culture support employee learning and growth?

One of the things I love most about GoDaddy is how much the culture embraces learning as part of everyday life. It’s never just about checking boxes or following a rigid path—it’s about curiosity, exploration, and growth. With the vast array of resources available through L&D and GoLearn—which boasts an impressive 60,000 courses—it's truly difficult not to foster your own growth and development!

I’ve always felt encouraged to try new ideas, bring creativity into my work, and lean into opportunities that stretch me.

That kind of support makes it possible to grow not only as an employee, but as a person—and that’s what makes learning here feel exciting and meaningful.

Do you have any advice for someone who is interested in a career at GoDaddy?

If you’re thinking about a career at GoDaddy, my advice is simple: be curious, take chances, and show up as your true self. This is a place that celebrates individuality, so lean into your unique strengths and see where they take you. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, try new things, and build connections—those relationships and experiences are often the stepping stones to growth, fun, and success!

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Outside of work, I truly treasure spending time with my family. My happiest moments come from making memories together and enjoying the little adventures of everyday life with my husband, our 3½-year-old daughter, and our two dogs. Since moving from the United States to Britain seven years ago, travel has become a big passion of mine. I love exploring new countries and places. I’m known among my friends for my love of cheese, and I also have a love for all things beauty (skincare, haircare, makeup) and being creative. I enjoy cross-stitching, playing video games, and finding fun ways to express myself.
