About

I will complete my masters in Professional and Technical ​Communication at the University of North Texas in

December of 2023.

This past year, I have implemented content strategy, content ​analysis, and content management in different projects.


I’ve continued to grow in technical editing, writing and design.

I am most proud of the projects that required using new-to-me ​software, such as Camtasia, oXygen XML and the Adobe suite.


Internship Experience

My internship was ​completed at Stone Group ​of Companies during

Summer 2023.


This video highlights my ​experiences, project details, ​and takeaways.
