Technical Writing Portfolio

After more than ten years as a professional American Sign Language interpreter, I made what turned out to be a surprisingly lateral career move into technical writing.

What changed? The job title. The work remains the same.

Both professions share the same core challenge: take complex, specialized information — from a subject matter expert, a technical process, a system no one outside the field understands — and transform it into something clear, accurate, and accessible to the people who actually need it. As an interpreter, I did that in real time, without a backspace button, across medical, educational, and professional settings. Now I do it with the luxury of iteration, collaboration, and a well-placed heading.

I bring ten years of audience analysis, SME communication, register flexibility, and cross-field adaptability to every document I write. I earned my Technical Writing Certificate from Oregon State University in 2025, and I hold a BA in English Literature from Earlham College.

I'm based in Colorado Springs, CO and open to remote opportunities.
