Technical Communications degree as the anchor. Over 10 years' experience in the beauty industry, Project Management, Vendor System Vetting, and Regulatory Compliance (ISO/FDA/OSHA)

About Me: The Information Architect

​

Information is noise without purpose; I start with the 'Why' to design the 'How'.

I am a Systems Thinker and Technical Communicator specializing in the architecture of information. With over a decade of experience managing high-stakes logistical environments and a B.S. in Technical Communications, I bridge the gap between complex engineering concepts and actionable human knowledge.

​

My Philosophy: Information is Infrastructure

I believe that documentation is not just "writing"—it is the critical infrastructure that allows a company to scale, comply, and innovate. My approach is rooted in an INTJ-A mindset: I see the patterns in chaos and transform them into structured, logical, and user-centric systems. Whether it is a regulatory SOP, a mechanical manual, or a digital knowledge base, my goal is to ensure the right information reaches the right person at the exact moment they need it.

​

Why Work With Me?

I thrive in environments where the stakes are high and the details matter. My background in corporate logistics at Henkel taught me that a single point of failure in a process can have million-dollar consequences. I bring that same rigorous, risk-averse, and analytical lens to Information Architecture.

​

I don't just create content; I design the systems that make content work.

 

Primary Capabilities:

  • Information Architecture: Designing hierarchical structures for findability and scalability.

  • Technical Synthesis: Translating engineering-level data into unambiguous, operable instructions.

  • Compliance & Governance: Aligning documentation with ISO, OSHA, and FDA regulatory standards.

  • UX/UI Strategy: Applying user-experience principles to ensure documentation is accessible and intuitive.

  • Agile Project Leadership: Executing the "Deliver & Execute" phase with precision and version control.

  •  

I am currently seeking opportunities to apply my methodology to the beauty industry and manufacturing sectors, where technical precision is a core value.
