At VIA and as a freelancer, I edit and write client content, fact-check, and offer feedback to make writing more readable and easier to understand. I also manage multiple projects and clients, and develop and deliver writing workshops and lessons.

At Minneapolis Art On Wheels, I created and planned interactive projection events and programmed software and hardware for engagement under a research grant. Earlier, I edited research at Prince of Songkla University and helped professors prepare work for international journals.
