In addition to my work as a technical communicator and information developer at IBM's Silicon Valley Lab, I facilitate collaboration between such organizations as the Society for Technical Communication (STC), ACM SIGCHI, BayDUX, and other related organizations.

I am a leader in the Silicon Valley chapter of STC and have contributed to STC at the society level; I was recognized with the President's Award in 2004. And I've been webmaster for CHI and DUX conference websites.

My interests include user experience design and information architecture as informed by the art and science of technical communication.

See the articles archive for online versions of my articles from ACM SIGCHI's <interactions>.
