Hiiii! After unexpectedly finding myself without a job for the first time in my professional career, I am looking for a new role effective immediately - one where I can do good, period.
🌟 PREFERRED ROLES (non-exhaustive!):
▪️Writer: technical, reports, newsletters, deep dives, articles
▪️Teacher/tutor: #German, #linguistics, language study; data analytics & literacy, #statistics
▪️Coach: #academia to what’s beyond; personal development; organization; task & project management; app setups & ecosystems
▪️Data analyst / data scientist
▪️Researcher / policy #analyst
🏢 PREFERRED INDUSTRIES & AREAS:
▪️Non-profit/not-for-profit & #advocacy. Broadly speaking: more just, sustainable, more good
▪️Tutoring, coaching, education (software, tools, instruction), academia
▪️Civic good, municipal affairs, local journalism, urbanism, environment/ecology
▪️Small tech/tech for good, FOSS/FLOSS, privacy, digital sovereignty
▪️Disaster management/prevention, emergency operations
(I have work, volunteer, and/or education/training experience in all of these categories - happy to share more!)
💪🏼 I’LL BE A FANTASTIC FIT IF:
▪️You suspect there’s a story in a heap of #data, but don’t know what it is - or how to coax it out. I’ll find it for ya.
▪️You need great visuals and tailored communication for any audience: clear academic reports, engaging tech newsletters, gentle introductions to complex topics, keynotes - I love ‘em all.
▪️You need someone to dig deep. I naturally follow up on every “huh, that’s odd - let me see what’s really going on there!”
▪️You want a critical thinker who gives honest advice. You’ll get the real deal.
▪️You like saying what you mean and talking to each other like real people. I can speak corporate, but I’d prefer leaving that seven-layer dip of jargon behind!
▪️Bonus: You suspect corporate AI may soon be unaffordable for most organizations, or the bubble may burst, and need someone who can do excellent work without chatbot crutches if needed.
⛔️ NOT LOOKING FOR:
▪️Roles where I’m expected to rubber-stamp work, go through the motions, or “put the data fries in the bag.”
▪️Cultures where manufactured emergencies are the norm and there’s no time to think, explore, or dig deep.
▪️Jobs where you can’t tell me what good I’ll do or where my positive impact will be.
🖥️ PREFERRED SETTING:
▪️Remote, flexible hours
▪️Contracts/project work; very open to a portfolio-style career
▪️Hybrid or “we get together sometimes” roles in the #Edmonton area
▪️I’m not chasing the corporate ladder; impact matters more. If it’s a good fit, I don’t care whether it comes with a “Senior” label.
#boostOK, and if you do, I’ll send all the good vibes so there may never again be an unexpected item in your bagging area. 💜
Hiring, or know someone who is? Please get in touch!

Reminder: You don't get to claim the title of "ally". It's something bestowed (or not) by the people you are *trying to* ally with.
Ally is a verb, not a noun. It's something you *do*, and have to keep repeating, for it to count. And only the people you're trying to help get to decide whether you succeeded.
