Documentation Czar & Arch-Pedant
Creating Clear, Consistent, and User-Friendly Documentation to Empower and Inform

Hi there! I am an experienced technical writer with an extensive background in proofreading, editing, and quality assurance. I view my job as technical writer as service:

  1. Bridge the gap between subject matter experts and the people who need their knowledge by crafting and organizing clear, accurate, consistent documentation.
  2. Simplify complex information for diverse audiences and improve user experience.
  3. Advocate for the needs of users and readers, and create documentation that meets those needs.
  4. Build positive collaborative relationships with colleagues across disciplines to develop effective communication materials.

I thrive on organizing chaos and “herding cats” while maintaining an approachable demeanor and can-do attitude. I take what I do seriously while remaining flexible and friendly. I believe in treating everyone with kindness, compassion, and empathy. One of my core values is authenticity–being my authentic self, and embracing the authenticity of others.
