The Coloring Inside the Lines
After years as a general operator in metal manufacturing, I’ve seen the side of the industry that doesn't make it into the handbook. My perspective is shaped by the raw force of being on the floor and the quiet aftermath of burnout, stress, and PTSD. I write to transform these heavy, complex topics into accessible insights by blending first-hand experience with hard-coded facts that everyone can understand.
Taking a Look at the Next Build
Honestly, I started this site on a whim. But as I lean more into writing, I’m discovering that all my paths from psychology to technical writing lead me back to a singular ethos: investigating why things break and how to fix them. Whether it’s documenting chemical hazards like PFAS or analyzing human factors, I’m using this space to showcase the skills I’ve acquired from my education through experience.
Manufacturing of the Human Side
I have a degree in Psychology, but real growth didn't happen until I stepped onto the manufacturing floor. People are what make machines tick, and like machines, people need preventative maintenance too. All too often we are reactive to our problems, instead of being proactive and preventing them. I aim to bring light and shine it on the suppressed and undiagnosed in hopes the glimmer is enough to see the truth beneath the skin.
