Professional

komoot

I serve as Senior Editor and project lead for U.S. content at komoot, an award-winning outdoors app. I design editorial workflows, manage a fully remote international team, edit and proofread written content, and build tracking systems that improve quality control, publishing timelines, and cross-team coordination.

Earlier work

I spent six years in outdoor education and recreation as a program director, climbing guide, and instructor. I developed climbing curricula, trained and mentored instructors, and oversaw safety and risk management in wilderness settings and on technical terrain.
