My first large project at Virgin America was the creation of the company's employee orientation program from scratch. Playing off of Virgin's roots in music and entertainment, as well as a desire to emulate the airline's customer experience, I designed a day and a half of leadership introductions, company values learning, a scavenger hunt team building exercise in downtown San Francisco, and many other surprises that let new hires know without a doubt that they had chosen a GREAT place to work!
Over the course of my 10 years with Virgin America, I led the ongoing execution of the Red Carpet program, managing a small and mighty team to deliver over 200 orientation sessions consistently and energetically. Based off of regular employee surveys, Red Carpet was consistently rated as one of the highlights of a teammate's career with the company.
