What’s your background in content and documentation?
I cut my teeth on document management systems, shifting to web and component content management soon after. I’ve seen the evolution of content management and understand how companies must effectively leverage these technologies.
What topics do you enjoy writing about most?
If it’s content-related, I love learning and writing about it. Add in AI, and I’m hooked. These topics are foundational to every company.
How do you see AI and automation changing technical documentation?
We’re still figuring out how to best incorporate generative AI into technical documentation tools, apart from helping to improve the content itself. I see automation being a critical component that needs to be addressed.
What’s one piece of advice you’d give to a team just starting with structured authoring?
Don’t overthink it. Start small, pick one or two use cases that will show results quickly but also hit key challenges, and grow from there.
When I’m not heads down working on content strategies, you’ll find me reading the latest Ruth Ware suspense novel or watching my daughter shop.
