Hi, I’m Anita!
Content designer, information architect, occasional front-end developer, perpetual do-gooder
I’m a former cancer researcher who switched to tech to help people faster. I've made information and services clearer about COVID, affordable housing, and permitting for local and federal government.
I love to chat with other career-changers! Schedule a virtual coffee with me! ☕️.
