About Writer
A creative-minded San Francisco native, I’ve worked in varying industries, from tech to construction to engineering academics to music. From a young age, the written word has gripped my mind and attention, and I’ve sought to bring that same enthusiasm to assisting in improving the written ventures of others. Whether technical documentation, blog posts about AI and security, or a simple email, I can help make your content clearer, more concise and understandable, and more dynamic—depending on how you want to convey your voice to your audience.
Education
