I am an assistant teaching professor in the English Department at the University of Washington, specializing in technical and professional writing. As an enthusiastic proponent of cross-disciplinary work, I also teach courses in science writing, library science, and data science. My research interests are primarily in knowledge organization, where I study the social and cultural aspects of subject indexing and subject tagging. I am excited to expand on my research by finding connections between knowledge organization and technical writing. Before I returned to academia, I worked at Google and IBM as a technical writer, technical editor, and technical writing manager for 15 years.
