I am at heart a storyteller, curator, researcher, and technologist.I work as a museum curator, and have previously served as a sales engineer, product support manager, education program manager, instructor, and scholar. Disparate though they may seem, I have been guided by a singular goal through all these roles: to distill complex ideas into direct and intuitive language, presented with an understanding of my audiences' needs and priorities. Whether designing interactive exhibitions, presenting product demonstrations, writing technical documentation, planning educational programming, or crafting a course syllabus, I begin with—and always come back to—the all-important question: "Who is this for, and will it work for them?"
