I'm an AI ethics specialist and technical writer with an MA in Ethical Technology and Artificial Intelligence and 30 years of hands-on technology experience, including deep work in machine learning: classical ML and deep learning through LLM development, fine-tuning, RLHF, and prompt engineering. I've been cited as a primary expert source in academic research on AI ethics. I build documentation, curricula, and analysis that reflects how these systems actually work. That means API references, SDK tutorials, user guides, RCAs, and style guides written by someone who understands the underlying technology, not just the surface concepts. I also consult with nonprofits and mission-driven organizations on AI adoption: ethics review, responsible AI policy, tool selection, data privacy considerations, and staff training. If your organization is trying to figure out where AI fits and what the real risks are, that's the work I do. Published on algorithmic bias and responsible AI. Experienced team lead and editorial director. I can write for engineers, for product teams, and for audiences who have never opened a terminal. Available for fractional and project-based AI/ML technical writing, responsible AI documentation, AI ethics consulting, prompt engineering, API documentation, instructional design, and curriculum development.

The brain of a data detective, the pen of a journalist, and the instincts of a compliance lawyer. For 40+ years, I have worked as a writer, researcher, and editor across technology, finance, policy, operations, HR, healthcare, and regulated business environments. Clients and readers include C-suite executives, policymakers, engineers, academics, legal and compliance teams, and subject matter experts who need clear, credible content from complex material. With degrees in Journalism (BA), Behavioral Psychology (MS), and Law (JD), I bring a disciplined approach to research, structure, language, and evidence. My work is strongest when the subject is complex, the reader expects substance, and the final product needs analysis, judgment, and a compelling argument. I am comfortable working under tight turnaround, as long as we agree on scope and deadline. Projects maybe structured hourly or on a fixed-fee basis, depending on research depth, review cycle, and level of polish required. AI tools may support organization, synthesis, and workflow speed, but the judgment, source review, structure, voice, and final writing remain mine. ~Professional Highlights~ B2B Content Writing and Thought Leadership • Long-form articles, white papers, reports, guides, website copy, executive summaries, and thought leadership for business, technology, finance, healthcare, AI, SaaS, and policy audiences • Published work for The Financial Brand, Electronics360, Aura, and executive-facing business outlets • Business book support and senior-level content focused on growth, strategy, workforce intelligence, revenue systems, and operational performance Research, Analysis, and Market Intelligence • Market research, competitor analysis, workforce trends, regulatory developments, benchmarking, and source synthesis • Qualitative and quantitative research across technology, finance, policy, HR, healthcare, SaaS, and enterprise operations • Clear analysis built from raw notes, expert interviews, technical materials, datasets, reports, and incomplete drafts Technical, Legal, and Compliance Writing • Legal content, compliance materials, policy papers, internal guidance, and formal business writing • RFPs, SOWs, SLAs, technical manuals, user guides, implementation materials, and customer-facing documentation • Contract-adjacent, regulatory, and technical documentation shaped by governance, risk, auditability, and operational constraints Editing, Proofreading, and Content Quality • Developmental editing, substantive editing, line editing, copy editing, proofreading, and final polish • Editing for logic, structure, rhythm, tone, clarity, precision, and reader usefulness • Fact-checking, citation review, source validation, terminology control, style-guide alignment, and publication-ready cleanup
