English was always my favorite, and best, subject in school. Over the years, I also realized I had a natural gift for figuring out technology. My dorm-mates would come to me for help with their computers (think early 2000s when Napster was all the rage). Not only did I quickly learn how to use software applications, but I enjoyed helping others figure things out and being that go-to person.
With a strong writing and English education, plus my love for technology and helping others, technical writing was an easy transition. Before I became a technical writer, I had studied ballet for most of my youth. This seems random to mention but my dance training feeds into how I work and lead teams. From dancing in a corps, I find that communication and teamwork are crucial elements to delivering successful projects and strive to as-near perfection as I possibly can.
