Writer, editor, journalist, and creative technologist with 10+ years of experience making complex technologies make sense.
Bio
I love finding new ways to bring the obscure into focus for myself and others, to say more with less, and puzzle out seemingly intractable problems. With more than a decade of immersive multimedia storytelling expertise in quantum computing, machine learning, AI, cryptography, chemistry, physics, and international business, I bring technical depth and creative flexibility to every project.
As Strategic Narrative Lead at IBM Quantum, I design, write, edit, publish, monitor, and manage content across all web assets for one of the world’s leading quantum computing research initiatives. I am a contributing writer and editor for technical documentation on the Qiskit stack, new software tools, cloud services, developer tutorials, and more. I also lead script writing and educational content development efforts for a host of global outreach initiatives, events, and IBM Quantum Innovation Centers. Our team produces immersive educational experiences, video case studies, research journalism, curated physical installations, and augmented reality explorations of novel hardware architectures.
