As the Education Services Manager, I lead a team of technical writers and videographers to provide users with thorough, but concise, educational content. As a servant leader, I provide coaching and mentorship to support growth and development. My team uses a multitude of tools (MadCap Flare, Articulate, User Pilot, and Camtasia) to create a variety of help resources. I use agile project management to guide my team to achieve high productivity and work within tight, weekly release deadlines.

I continue to wear two hats here at HawkSoft, my primary role is to lead my team, performing all the common managerial tasks, and then secondly, I enjoy rolling up my sleeves and contributing as a writer. As I started as the sole writer in 2012, I had the opportunity to design and redesign our help portal and establish styles and standards. I worked closely with our scrum master to develop a process for tracking the development changes and ensuring all content was continually updated in time for each release. I devised and implemented procedures to inform and educate all departments on software development and ensure that the support staff was comfortable and ready to take calls before the release.
