GitHub, Content Strategist

April 2015-Present

I am GitHub's go-to copywriter and content strategist for public facing marketing and UX copy. I come up with messaging for new products based on user and marketing research. Then I adapt into site copy. I'm currently working on content for a complete redesign of GitHub.com. Previously, I crafted a content strategy and copy for enterprise.github.com and git-lfs.github.com, including ways to deal with outdated and legacy content. I also write for the marketing team—everything from gift cards to customer stories and blog posts.

Flatiron School, Content Manager

April 2014-April 2015

I manage everything to do with words at a school for code. I collaborated with almost all 40 staff and instructors to come up with a content strategy and write UX copy for our website redesign, as well as for our annual report . I also manage all social channels and run the company blog, which includes assigning, editing, and posting staff blog posts. 

FreeAssociation, Content Strategist

I worked closely with the design and dev teams as a multi-disciplinary strategist and designated content advocate.

I also contributed internal brand strategy for FreeAssociation site & social accounts. 

Big Spaceship, Content Strategy Intern
