About Me
Hi, I’m Miss Bret Townsend—self-taught, battle-tested, and outcomes-obsessed. I built my career through hands-on experience, mentorship, and continuous upskilling, moving from Navy instructor to technical documentation lead to L&D program manager.
I’ve led cross-functional training for SaaS companies, developed scalable content for leadership development programs, and created SOPs and job aids used across industries. I don’t just deliver training—I build systems that make learning and performance sustainable.
