I believe that as technology becomes increasingly intertwined with our professional and personal lives, everyone deserves an informed understanding of how the systems that affect us function--- not just the companies that develop them. To that end, I also believe that transparent, accessible, and effective communication of how these technologies work is instrumental to a better world. While literature and writing have always been my primary passions, towards the middle of my academic career I began searching for ways in which I could leverage what I was learning in the humanities to bring positive change to the technology sector.

These values led me to developed a focused interest in technical writing and technical communication, both within my English degree and in the workplace. In the past four years I’ve written blogs, newsletters, and promotional pieces for various companies, all with the central goal of making technology easier to understand, more accessible, and more inclusive. In addition to specialized experience writing for the tech industry, my background includes a diverse portfolio in journalism, graphic design, and web development.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar, sketching, and riding bikes.
