“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
— Oscar Wilde
With over 12 years of experience as a technical writer at companies like Salesforce and Calix, I’ve discovered that stellar content is the ultimate bridge between stakeholders. Clear, empathetic writing not only connects with end users but also significantly reduces support costs by making their lives easier.
I’m nerdily passionate about crafting awesome content for a wide array of audiences. From release notes and user guides to datasheets, videos, internal and external communications, newsletters, onboarding and training materials, developer documentation, knowledge articles, and advisory bulletins—name it, and I’ve probably written it. I’ve tackled projects of all sizes, from small-scale tasks to large, complex initiatives, always bringing my best to the table, whether I’m editing, strategizing, or creating new content from scratch.
One of my favorite aspects of the job is diving deep into the documentation with a beginner’s mindset. I love understanding how users approach my content for help, ensuring that every piece is accessible and useful. In 2021, I was promoted to Program Manager, and I thrived in the leadership and process improvement aspects of the role. I’m eager to leverage those skills in my next position and continue making a meaningful impact through my writing and management.
In 2022, I reignited my passion for technical writing, stepping into the exciting world of AI as a writer for Veritone. There, I had the opportunity to shape the future of content creation in the AI landscape. Building on that momentum, I rejoined Salesforce as the lead writer on the groundbreaking Commerce Agentforce generative AI features. This role allowed me to blend my technical expertise with cutting-edge innovation, ensuring that users have the best possible experience with this revolutionary technology.
I’m a word enthusiast with a passion for all things literary, from classic novels to the latest page-turners. The great outdoors is my sanctuary, where I recharge my batteries through hiking, camping, and tending to my garden. When I’m not exploring nature, I dive into the adrenaline-pumping world of action and adventure video games. I lead a healthy, active lifestyle, hitting the gym regularly and fueling my body with the joy of movement.
Simple pleasures bring me the most joy—savoring a delicious meal, enjoying a refreshing drink, singing along to my favorite tunes, and immersing myself in the beauty of art. If I were a character in Middle Earth, I’d definitely be a hobbit, relishing the simple things in life and finding contentment in the company of good friends and a cozy home.
I’m a dedicated ally, committed to supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts both at work and in my daily life. Volunteering at organizations that help people, animals, and parks is a cornerstone of my life, allowing me to give back and make a positive impact. My daughter and my spirited husky keep me on my toes and fill my days with laughter and adventure.
