What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead editorial and learning content programs, partner with SMEs, and deliver accessible, audience-centered materials—backed by strong style consistency and thoughtful, AI-assisted workflow improvements.

I’m a senior editor and content strategist with 9+ years of experience producing high-stakes content across corporate, compliance, and tech environments. I specialize in editorial details AI-assisted workflows tend to skip—tonal consistency, cultural nuance, accessibility, and audience-centered clarity. I build content programs, style guides, SOPs, and training materials from scratch, then coach teams to sustain quality at scale.

In my most recent role, I served as primary editor for certification and exam ecosystem content, managing editorial workflows and guiding a global Exam Development Committee through workshops, reviews, and shared editorial goals. Earlier, at EPAM Systems (at Google), I created and maintained enterprise style guidelines and learning templates, and I project-managed the full lifecycle of learning content development (scoping through QA, localization, staging, and ongoing LMS maintenance). Across roles, I partner closely with SMEs, QA, designers, and program stakeholders—turning complex information into clear, practical documentation and enablement materials.
