I specialize in creating content that informs and delights where the interests of technology and creativity converge.
Admittedly, technical content has not always tinted my career, but having worked in a variety of industries, one thing that unites the vocations I cherish the most is my enthusiasm for new insights. To illustrate, much of my early career I spent as an educator teaching subjects ranging from writing to robotics to students pre-K through grade 12 and above, including collegiate-level students and GED prospects.
Comprehensions like ‘SaaS’ and ‘B2B Marketing’ were hardly part of these occupations; however grasping the significance and heterogeneity of methodical communication certainly played an integral part, whether the curriculum was personally crafted or commercial in nature. More than anything, I look forward to the sense of accomplishment students gain when a simple trick borrowed from a more complex learning theory helps something once difficult become easy.
Even to this day, I volunteer with the city to help learners of differing backgrounds develop literacy skills. The program emphasizes the importance of actionable pedagogy, where applied knowledge prompts a student's ability to think metacognitively. In my experience, witnessing a fellow human stumble upon a valuable insight in this manner is its own reward.
But in the professional sphere, my more recent experience has prioritized similarly rewarding pastimes — i. e., decoding the syntax of the English tongue, and in that same undertaking, deconstructing the IT landscape of the modern era. In either occupation, some unpacking must take place that ultimately arrives at a deeper insight.
As someone prone to the occasional existential crisis, my overall approach to work is to seek fulfillment in any profession I hold. Be it furnishing the content marketing scheme of a software company geared toward scaling businesses or increasing my familiarity with learning design and technology education to deliver a series of stakeholder-ready training modules, the unpacking is what I enjoy the most.
