About Me
Hello friend. I am a seasoned technical writer and API documentarian who is experienced in an eclectic range of technologies, work environments, and industries. I thrive in a dynamic, collaborative environment where I can use my skills to create and verify product documentation, contribute to the success of users and developers, and help drive the company forward. Attending a coding bootcamp helped me round out the breadth of my technical skill set. (Writing samples are available, and coding projects are linked below.)
Discovery, innovation and problem solving are fun! Let's get in touch and talk about creating wonderful things together, or about beekeeping...or Legos!
