Biography

I’m an experienced freelance writer who has contributed to various platforms like Android Police and Gadget Hacks. I have a strong technical background in computers, smartphones, and general technology, with an emphasis on customer service. As an educator, I enjoy helping others learn new things about technology whenever I can. Teaching people how to use and interact with modern technology has always been a lifelong goal of mine. I'm also the "go-to" tech nerd who enjoys problem solving, fixing things, and answering questions. Having nearly a decade of experience in customer service allows me to fulfill any custom support-based role as needed. My passion for technology and helping others make me a natural leader for the modern era of smartphones, AI, and beyond. Aside from technology, writing personal short stories and poems have also been a big part of my life since I was young. However, I finally started my professional writing career in 2017 as a lesson plan writer for computer science and IT at Study.com. That led me to Gadget Hacks, where I wrote how-to guides for the Android rooting, modding, and custom ROM section. I then continued down that same path at Android Police writing how-to guides, features, and in-depth explainers for smartphones and smart home devices.
