"Passionate" and "documentation" are two words not normally associated with one another. But for this passionate documentation evangelist, they're inseparable.

As a documentation and knowledge systems leader, I thrive at the intersection of structure, strategy, and storytelling. My mission is to shift the paradigm from "just documentation" to strategic, dynamic knowledge systems that fuel decision-making, reduce costs, boost team retention, and reduce risk and technical debt. The research and the data clearly demonstrate those benefits.

What documentation is and isn't:
--Documentation isn't a checkbox; it's a security control.
--Documentation isn't static files hidden in a hierarchy of folders; it's structured, metadata-driven knowledge delivered through dynamic channels.
--Documentation isn't a necessary evil; it's the story, the signal, the evidence of your team's value.

From fast-paced startups to highly regulated global enterprises, I’ve led documentation initiatives that deliver measurable ROI—streamlining workflows, reducing onboarding time, and preserving critical tribal knowledge before it’s lost.

Known for my energy, precision, and cross-functional collaboration, I bring a systems-focused mindset and keen eye for process and workflow improvement to align tools, people, and processes to build knowledge infrastructures that are force multipliers for Information Security and other technology teams.

About Me

I'm a former English teacher and librarian turned documentation evangelist. My love of words, language, and communication (bordering on obsession) led me to the world of technical writing and to a fiercely competitive spirit when it comes to Scrabble. My love of writing began with my love affair with books. I own 879 books, all of which I scanned into a personal database (of course). I live in a home with bookcases in every room and fully expect to die beneath a collapsed stack of books in a labyrinth of my own creation. A colleague once dubbed me a Grammar Goddess - a title I accepted with honor and a permanent red pen.

I've seen the Broadway musical Wicked 18 times in two countries and four states. In 2023, I read 122 books - my personal record (yes, I track that too). When I care about something, I go all in - and that includes championing documentation as a business enabler.
