I am a technical communicator. I help non-technical audiences understand complex and technical information.
I also wield a red pen and style manual as an editor and writer. If you’re looking for crafted content or sharper sentences, let’s talk. My work experience includes content strategy, editing, technical writing, feature writing, publication management, and digital media.
And, I’m a rhetorician. My research interests include algorithmic writing, cultural constructs of authorship, GIFs as writing, and social reading.
