Thanks for stopping by!
Here's a little bit about me...
How I got started
I have always had a huge passion for words—from the amazing places I would visit in books to making up my own stories. This led me to pursue a degree in English Literature at Georgia College & State University and then the Columbia Publishing Course. After this, I landed an editor position at a small publishing services company, all the while still enjoying books and reading as my number-one pastime. Being an editor taught me so much about the power of the written word and how to adapt it for different voices, purposes, and projects.
What I've been doing
After taking a course on UX writing from the UX Content Collective, I was instantly inspired and excited about the opportunities it would bring me. A few months later, I landed a job as a Digital Marketing Specialist with Honeywell and worked with their software-as-a-service division. In this role, I learned how to adapt my writing and editing skills from long-form to short-form as well as to an entirely new and more technical audience, with a focus on topics like and products for sustainability, cybersecurity, and buildings technologies. I applied my UX writing skills to this role, which helped me stay sharp and brought a new perspective to the team.
What I'm excited about
I have loved my time with Honeywell and how they have allowed me to grow and seek opportunities based on my interests. I have recently started taking an online course to learn HTML and plan to continue to learn more about coding and web design. I have also learned the basics of AEM and am still interested in a UX career. More importantly, I am focused on challenging myself and finding ways to expand my skills and knowledge so that I can remain ever-evolving in whatever role I am in.
