What I'm looking for

I seek roles creating user-focused documentation in collaborative teams, with opportunities for growth into open-source or developer-facing documentation.

I am a writer and editor specializing in technical and procedural documentation, with hands-on experience producing clear, well-structured content for educational, corporate, and public audiences. I have developed guides, templates, and instructional materials while collaborating with cross-functional teams to maintain documentation standards and improve workflows.

My background includes partnership coordination, teaching, and campus technical support, where I translated complex concepts into accessible instructions, managed records and version control practices, and supported virtual and in-person operations. I am curious about software development and eager to grow in documentation practice for open-source communities.
