I'm a versatile technical writer and content strategist who thrives in remote work environments. I specialize in DITA/XML-based documentation, API and platform docs, knowledge bases, and editorial governance. I enjoy building clear tutorials, interactive examples, and scalable reference libraries for developers and enterprise users. Collaborating across engineering, UX, marketing, and legal teams, I drive content strategy, onboarding SOPs, and cross-functional documentation programs. I'm open to travel (up to 75%), comfortable coordinating across PST, MST, CST, and EST time zones, and dedicated to delivering high-quality documentation on schedule.
