About

I manage the technical writing team at Pendo. Outside of work, I volunteer for a variety of LGBTQ+ orgs, write blog posts, and give talks about all of these things.

In past lives, I lead documentation at Heap, worked in trust and safety, built Relaxio, and spent one full year digital nomading across 18 countries around the world. I’m currently based in San Francisco with my fiancé and our cat.

For writing samples and completed projects, see my portfolio section above.
