ABOUT
I specialize in delivering content that informs and delights at the intersection of technology and creativity.
Much of my early career involved juggling a variety of jobs in the education sector, from TA-ing at a robotics company to tutoring adult learners in GED math. Ironically, I wanted to be a teacher when I was young, but when my introverted sensibilities got the best of me, I turned to corporate tech. Marketing made sense because words come easy to me, and breaking down the complexities of technology — both digital and palpable — was already a favored pastime. Teaching became part of my backstory, in the same sense I hear elders speak about their first job.
But it only took me three years in the content marketing space before I wanted something different. I I realized teaching was the most fulfilling job I ever had. And I returned to it by spending my free time at local non-profits, instructing learners of varying backgrounds in everythng from writing to digital literacy. My goal is always to develop learners' metacognitive skills, or informally, thinking about thinking. Whether in marketing or learning strategy, methodical communication is key to this achieving this objective.
Eventually, this free time transformed into a targeted venture to pursue instructional design in the field I hold in high regard. Now I apply the same precision to my professional work: decoding the intricacies that make human language hard to parse, and in that same undertaking, deconstructing the IT landscape of the modern era. The unpacking is what I enjoy the most.
