What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead clear, strategic communications and documentation work, collaborate across teams, and build practical systems that support projects, people, and communities.

I've led internal IT communications at Stryker and created technical content, communication plans, and leadership-conference materials for global IT initiatives. At Wright Medical, I served as the sole technical writer supporting IT projects and more than 4,000 users through manuals, quick-reference guides, training materials, newsletters, and digital signage.

I've also directed public art and community programs in Memphis, managing budgets, grants, stakeholder communications, events, and public art plans. Currently, I establish systems, programming, communications, and daily operations for ShapeShifter Art School and Gallery.
