What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, creativity, and professional growth.

I am a highly dedicated and dynamic technical writer with extensive experience in overseeing the provision of high-quality and informative documentation. My meticulous and analytical approach allows me to meet demanding deadlines and quality expectations while gathering and incorporating bespoke customer requests. I leverage my advanced multilingual communication skills in English, German, French, Spanish, and Irish to effectively engage with international teams.

Throughout my career, I have held key roles at leading companies such as SAP, Google, and Amazon, where I have spearheaded the formation of documentation teams and elevated content effectiveness through cross-collaboration with software developers, UX designers, and product managers. My commitment to fostering a culture of collaboration and teamwork has driven significant skill and knowledge development among my peers, while I have also been fully accountable for the creation, publication, and maintenance of product help articles across various SaaS offerings.

My experience includes creating detailed developer guides, engaging help center content, and maintaining consistency in documentation across platforms. I am passionate about supporting the professional development of new writers and ensuring that documentation strategies align with user needs and company goals.
