THE SYSTEM VIEW

Turning many moving parts into one operating model.

INPUTS
Moore to LearnENTERPRISE LEARNING ECOSYSTEM
OUTPUTS

01 · THE CONTEXT

A vision without an operating system.

Moore is a large professional services organization operating across multiple business units. When I joined in April 2025, it had no centralized enterprise learning ecosystem. Knowledge transfer was fragmented. Onboarding was inconsistent. There was no shared infrastructure for how employees learned, developed, or accessed training.

There was a vision for one—but no platform, no governance, no operational infrastructure, and no clear path from idea to execution. My first day, I was pulled directly into the enterprise platform evaluation that led to Absorb LMS. That set the pace for everything that followed.

02 · THE SYSTEM

Six layers, designed as one ecosystem.

I evaluated five enterprise learning platforms against a custom requirements matrix covering functionality, scalability, integrations, and organizational fit. Absorb LMS scored highest for where the program needed to go: the same architecture supporting 1.4k+ active learners today was designed to scale toward roughly 4,000 without a platform change.

01Platform

Absorb LMS, SSO, and employee data mapping.

02Data backbone

Credits, completions, course shells, and transcript integrity.

03Workflows

Content intake, Jira roadmap, approvals, QA, and publishing.

04Visibility

Executive dashboards with biweekly, monthly, and quarterly rhythms.

05Governance

Contributor standards for 81 SMEs and a 40-credit model.

06Adoption

Onboarding, AI-assisted course design, and learner experience.

ENTERPRISE 40-CREDIT MODEL

A company-wide requirement turned the LMS into operating infrastructure.

For the first time, Moore had an annual learning requirement across the organization. That meant Moore to Learn needed to do more than host courses — it had to track progress, preserve transcript integrity, support external training, recognize learning contributors, and give managers a clear view of team pacing.

0140 annual creditsShared enterprise expectation
02Two credit pathsLearner + contributor credits
03Operational visibilityTranscripts, pacing, manager reporting
Credit matched the person’s role.Employees could earn credits by completing learning, or by creating, facilitating, or supporting approved learning experiences. The governance layer kept totals credible without flattening different kinds of contribution.

03 · FEATURED BUILD

Passport to Moore: onboarding infrastructure for One Moore.

Less than six months into the role as a Training Coordinator, I helped move Passport to Moore from a cross-functional onboarding concept into the standard onboarding curriculum for all new Moore employees. The program launched on October 15, 2025 and now gives new hires a consistent introduction to Moore’s structure, client work, tools, culture, and ways of working across 40+ business units.

The work was not just course assembly. I bridged HR, Communications, HRIS, senior operational stakeholders, and Moore to Learn ownership to turn a SharePoint/Sway prototype into a governed Absorb LMS curriculum with enrollment logic, course grouping, competency-based stamps, certificates, transcript visibility, evaluation data, and reporting.

460 historic enrollments246 curriculum completions4.71/5★★★★★★★★★★avg. course rating1,056 evaluation responses
Preserved the metaphor, rebuilt the system.

The original passport concept stayed intact: learners move through tours and earn stamps. I translated that experience into Absorb LMS functionality using curriculum structure, competencies, completion logic, certificates, and transcript visibility.

New hires are enrolled automatically.

I configured the enrollment rules and partnered with HRIS so that when a new employee is created in UKG, the Moore to Learn account is created and the Passport curriculum enrollment rules kick off automatically.

Built across the org, not around it.

HR shaped the onboarding need, Communications supported the employee-facing tone and content, HRIS enabled the employee data connection, senior stakeholders defined what new hires needed to understand, and Moore to Learn became the operational home.

Launch was V1, not the finish line.

V2 is framed as product maturity: use leadership discussions, HR feedback, stakeholder input, course evaluations, and learner data to revisit the curriculum and improve the next version. That strengthens the story because it shows the program has a feedback loop.

05 · MANAGER VISIBILITY

Visibility that scales with the requirement.

Once the 40-credit requirement was in place, managers needed more than a transcript export. They needed a reliable view of team progress, credit totals, completion history, pacing, and exceptions across standard LMS courses and nontraditional learning activity.

The native Absorb LMS manager experience dashboard did not show external credits, inactive course shells, historical completions, or enough transcript context. I built a manager-facing reporting workbook that connects Absorb LMS users, enrollments, credits, and manager roster data.

A custom VBA macro pulls the full roster and course data, splits it by manager, removes every internal view an individual manager should not see, saves a standalone workbook, and drafts an Outlook email with the correct file attached. The workflow protects data while turning a highly repetitive process into reusable infrastructure.

Built once. Distributed to 300+ managers.With generation and send status visible in the same operating workflow.

06 · IMPACT

From standing start to a durable learning model.

The 40-credit model gave Moore to Learn an enterprise operating rhythm: employees had a clear annual expectation, managers had a way to track progress, and leadership had a more consistent view of learning adoption across the organization.

79% participation is a meaningful adoption signal from a standing start. A 4.6 average course rating reflects content quality, not just completions. The 40-credit enterprise model gave the program a clearer annual rhythm, while governance made it possible for 81 contributing subject matter experts to participate instead of concentrating the work in one role.

Building the Business Case for Spanish at Ibotta

How a summer internship project began with social listening—and became a cross-functional case for language support, creator partnerships, and targeted market visibility.

01 · PROJECT ORIGIN

I started by following my curiosity.

Every summer intern at Ibotta needed to choose and complete an independent project. At first, I was stumped. I was also taking a social-media marketing class that summer, so I did what I naturally do when I need ideas: I looked at what people were already saying and making.

I searched for Ibotta across social media and found something unexpected. Bilingual creators on TikTok and YouTube were making tutorials for Spanish-only speakers—teaching people how to navigate and use an English-only app. The comments underneath those videos were full of questions about translation, availability, and how to get started.

THE STARTING QUESTIONIf users and creators are already bridging the language gap themselves, what opportunity is the product leaving on the table?

02 · THE OPPORTUNITY

Demand was visible before the product supported it.

Ibotta had an opportunity to better serve Hispanic and Spanish-speaking consumers, but the business case needed more than a general recommendation. I assembled evidence across market growth, app-store positioning, user comments, competitor behavior, and creator-led education.

The clearest pattern: people were asking for translation, asking where the app worked, and relying on bilingual creators to learn a product that was still available only in English.

03 · RESEARCH METHOD

Qualitative signals, made legible at scale.

I drew from academic market research completed through the Honors College at UTA and partnered across Ibotta to connect customer signals to business feasibility. Using Octoparse, I scraped comments from YouTube and TikTok, exported them into Excel, and used translation formulas to analyze Spanish-language feedback at scale.

For future implementation, I recommended AI-assisted translation with subject matter experts reviewing accuracy, tone, and cultural fit before release.

04 · THE BUSINESS CASE

Six reasons this was bigger than translation.

The recommendation connected language support to measurable company priorities—not just localization. It framed Spanish support as an engine for revenue, growth, accessibility, inclusion, and competitive positioning.

Six-part opportunity framework for Spanish-language support

05 · CREATOR & CHANNEL SIGNAL

One video. 3,000 organic referrals.

A bilingual TikTok creator was already helping Spanish-only speakers navigate Ibotta while the app remained English-only. One “How you can save with Ibotta” tutorial generated 3,000 organic referrals—clear evidence that demand existed and users were solving the accessibility gap themselves. I also used a second creator tutorial from the same creator as supporting research.

06 · RESULTS & IMPACT

From user signal to visible market action.

I delivered an executive presentation translating market data, user evidence, and competitor analysis into recommendations for product support, creator partnerships, and targeted visibility.

For near-term reach, I researched high-impact podcasts and recommended Yo Quiero Dinero, which was selected for a paid feature. The initiative also contributed to a broader focus on Spanish-speaking consumers and informed two Spanish-language commercials: Seguro que lloverá on January 1, 2024 and Muestra gratis on April 18, 2024.

07 · REFLECTION

Research becomes valuable when someone can act on it.

This project sharpened my ability to combine academic research, user evidence, and cross-functional expertise into a business case. The strongest insight was not simply that Spanish-language support mattered—it was that demand was already expressing itself through comments, workarounds, referrals, and creator behavior.

ABOUT SARA

I like the moment when a foggy idea becomes something you can touch.

My work lives between structure and play. I’m happiest untangling an ambiguous problem, finding its human center, then building the clearest version I can.

Then comes my favorite part: putting it in front of people, watching how they react, and collaborating toward the next version. I think about the work a lot like product development—V1, V2, V3—each round making the idea more useful, more intuitive, and more real.

“Just make it exist first. You can make it good later.”

That belief has shaped learning ecosystems, knowledge systems, AI workflows, and operational programs across Moore, Proofpoint, and Ibotta. Outside work, I enjoy reading, traveling, and trying new things that usually become projects.

HOW I APPROACH THE WORK

field notes

How I make invisible systems visible.

I’m usually pulled toward the places where work is happening, but the system around it is hard to see: the owner is unclear, the data is scattered, or the process only works because one person remembers the steps.

Click a field note to open the system notes.

Input signals

What tells me there’s a system problem?

These are usually symptoms of an invisible system asking to be mapped.

My process

How I turn fog into structure.

This is the loop I tend to follow before something becomes a workflow, dashboard, course, guide, or operating model.

  1. Notice frictionWhat keeps recurring? Where are people getting stuck?
  2. Investigate itAsk questions, trace the workflow, and find the hidden steps.
  3. Understand the system underneath itIdentify ownership, dependencies, data, edge cases, and what the current process is optimizing for.
  4. Build structure around itCreate the smallest useful version people can touch.
  5. Measure whether it worksLook for adoption, fewer repeated questions, cleaner handoffs, or better decisions.
