My Work and Research
As a developing technical and professional communicator, I have completed graduate-level coursework and projects in user experience (UX), content strategy, technical editing, visual communication, and management in the STEM disciplines. My professional experience includes an internship where I served as a document control specialist involved in writing and editing technical documents across a variety of genres. Further, I will be adding university teaching experience to my CV this fall, as I am taking on a teaching assistantship for an undergraduate-level technical communication course.
I’m also leading an academic research project that is situated in the fields of technical and health communication. This research will be presented at the 2026 Special Interest Group on Design of Communication (SIGDOC) Student Research Competition (SRC) and annual conference, to be held in St. Paul, Minnesota.
From my background as a laboratory scientist specializing in clinical microbiology at Mayo Clinic, I also bring a unique set of transferrable skills and professional experience – including training, project and event coordination, and hands-on work with technical communication within the scope of a world-renowned laboratory’s operations.
My core skillsets, as highlighted in my CV:
- Technical writing & editing
- Project coordination
- Healthcare and medical laboratory operations
- Interdisciplinary communication
- Process & quality improvement
- UX/UI research & design
