Outside of Work

When I’m not immersed in content strategy or documentation, you’ll find me reading, geeking out over video games, or diving into new topics—whether it’s medical breakthroughs, family history and genealogy, coding techniques, or food science experiments.

Hi! My name is Afton.

Hi! I’m Afton—a technical communicator with a passion for making complex information clear, accessible, and actionable. With a background that bridges medical documentation, UX research, marketing, and internal communications, I specialize in structured content, accessibility, and user experience.

My CliftonStrengths include:
