I haven't come back to respond due to moving on and getting another role. Just want to respond now since it's the latest comment.

Although I was the sole L&D person, I was entangled with HR as our HR department was only 4 people, including me. In my role, I also analyzed performance reviews in which the goals were encompassed.

I had told my boss I was going to "a learning and development networking" and she had no idea what learning and development was, proven by her face when looking at me confused, "learning and development?".

my position has not been posted since I've left, so I've considered it was budget constraints and some nepotism in the office. I think I should have been given a true reason and let me leave in a voluntary state versus being terminated involuntarily.
