Work With Me

Status: Available in July 2026

My current short term contract concludes in July 2026. Before that I completed an assignment helping Microsoft datacenters prepare for the European Union's Energy Efficiency Directive reporting requirements.

July is not far away, so I'm looking for my next assignment (or long term home). I have experience as a sole contributor as well as managing paid or volunteer staff. I believe in servant leadership and enjoy getting into the thick of things. Weeding a garden and designing a garden have their own distinct pleasures. When it comes to collaboration I like to use Agile, open source and permaculture philosophies.

Short term contracts/freelance​

My service offerings include:

  • Coaching and mentoring for solo technical writers and small nonprofits
    • This includes creating, training, road maps and plans for any of the services I provide in the long term/full time section
  • Non-profit consulting, including board development, volunteer engagement and telling your organization's story
  • Small technical writing projects (where they do not conflict with my current work at Meta)
  • Public speaking and presentations

Long term/full time​

With my background with non-profits and IT I have a pretty nifty skill set. This includes:

  • Extensive experience maturing scrappy projects with big dreams and tiny budgets
  • Knowledge base creation or migration
  • Volunteer engagement and membership development
  • Creating and facilitating continual quality improvement plans
  • Building strong documentation workplace cultures
  • Operationalizing research/prototype product delivery
  • Distilling the expertise of subject matter experts into documentation and training
  • Change management and staff development

Fun fact, my last job in Australia (moved to America in 2009) was managing a youth circus! So a little organized chaos doesn't scare me ;-).

What next?​

If I'm not the right fit for your project, don't worry, it's still great to have a chat. We can both be upfront about we're looking for and I love to help people find the right match.
