Writer, Editor, Content Strategist
I specialize in developing simple content that’s easy for people to understand, connects them with answers they need, and helps them get things done.
Professional skills
-
I’ve worked on 3 external help centers for 7 years, developing, testing and publishing content.
I’ve analyzed and made data-driven decisions based on available signals to optimize the content for users.
I’ve also written user support messaging for internal knowledge bases to enable operations teams to easily find the most relevant information to help customers resolve issues.
-
As part of product go-to-market strategies, I have a ton of direct experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to assess content needs and deliver valuable content at launch for users globally.
I wrote user-focused copy in product and across help centers, learning websites, marketing websites, and more.
I reviewed product and feature mocks and wireframes, giving user-minded insight to improve customer experiences with simplified words and cohesive designs.
-
I’ve contributed to content creatively and editorially on countless projects, performing detailed developmental edits, to copyediting and line-editing for grammar and cohesion, to final proofreading.
I’ve also led editorial teams to develop and enhance content according to company style guides and established standards.
Additionally, I’ve defined and documented standards where they previously didn’t exist, as well as trained content teams on editorial best practices.
-
I’ve organized hundreds of public and internal web pages and brought clear structure to a large volume of inventory using simple navigation menus, starting from broad topics and narrowing to get more specific with each category.
I’ve also worked with UX researchers to test different structures, gather user feedback and iterate to optimize for a high quality user experience.
Additionally, I’ve created smaller libraries of help content and trained internal teams to easily maintain them for different needs.
-
I’ve used both internal content management systems and WYSIWYG editors like Wordpress to author, edit and publish a wide range of content for multiple purposes.
I’m proficient in XML and HTML, using both daily in my 10+ years as a writer in tech, frequently training new hires on team-specific uses.
