Orlando-Based Senior Technical Writer and Instructional Design Lead | Creative Nonfiction Writer & Editor

Intro

Welcome to my online portfolio, where I hope to offer you a glimpse of who I am, the work that I do, and the things that matter to me.

With 8+ years of experience in the realm of instructional design, 10 years of technical communication practice, a lifetime of knowledge acquired in writing, researching, editing, and—perhaps most importantly—people, I consider myself a true user’s advocate.

Driven by a need to understand and a desire to do meaningful work, I’m known for diving head-first into a challenge, excitement-driven all-nighters, and a penchant for getting people to make poor snack choices.

I am eager to teach, but even more eager to learn.

Beyond the technical, I also explore the lyrical side of writing through reflective essays and creative nonfiction, bringing words to life in ways that resonate.
