2.) A typical day in the life of a L&D Administrator at MRN would look like… ?

There is a lot of variety both within L&D and the Administrator role itself, currently my time is split building training modules and working on developing the LMS; this could mean creating a more personalised training platform for learners, expanding functions inside the system to best make use of them, or finding solutions to meet the business’s learning needs.

3.) In your opinion, what makes a great L&D Administrator at MRN?

Being both a communicator and someone who is able to work collaboratively is key; there can be a lot of ‘moving parts’ in L&D and coordinating/working with others throughout the entire business is not uncommon.

10.) What is your favorite thing about your career?

L&D is often perceived as a necessary evil. Indeed, I understand it’s necessary but in working inside L&D, and constantly developing business’ learning tools, I hope to remove the ‘evil’; add value and change perceptions.
