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. Currently, I’m helping to clarify federal government services at 18F.
I love to chat with other career-changers! Book a mentoring call with me on ADPList.
