Customer Delight Manager · 9.5+ years of experience

Better customer experiences start with understanding people.

I work at the intersection of customer experience, team leadership, documentation, and technology. Over the years, I’ve learned that better outcomes come from understanding the real problem, making knowledge useful, and helping people work together.

Currently at Brainstorm Force, working in the WordPress ecosystem.

What shapes my work

People first. Better systems follow.

My work has taught me that customer delight is rarely one big gesture. It’s the result of clear communication, thoughtful processes, and teams that care about getting the details right.

01 / EXPERIENCE

Customer experience

Look beyond the immediate question to understand the person, the problem, and what a useful resolution really looks like.

02 / PEOPLE

Team leadership

Help people align around shared expectations, build trust, and solve difficult problems together.

03 / KNOWLEDGE

Documentation

Turn product knowledge and recurring customer questions into clear, practical guidance people can use.

A good customer experience is not just about solving today’s problem. It’s about making the next step clearer, too.

Career so far

Experience that keeps teaching me.

A career is more than a sequence of titles. It’s the perspective you build by working with customers, teams, and products over time.

Customer Delight Manager

Brainstorm Force

Today, I work with the eLearning group at Brainstorm Force, bringing together customer experience, team leadership, product knowledge, and documentation across the WordPress ecosystem.

Our group works on SureDash, SureMembers, Presto Player, and the new Presto Capture.

A few lessons from the work

Built through people, problems, and practice.

01 / DOCUMENTATION

Making a major documentation revamp happen

Early in my documentation journey, I helped lead a team of two or three through the substantial work of revamping Astra’s docs for version 2. It taught me how much clear, useful documentation matters when people are trying to get things done.

02 / TEAM LEADERSHIP

Creating the conditions for a team to work well

I led a support team of around 15–20 people and helped create a balance between clear expectations and trust. Each team member had a daily ticket target designed to be challenging but motivating, with room to go above and beyond. Leads reviewed tickets weekly or biweekly, then shifted toward case-by-case reviews as agents grew in the role and demonstrated consistent judgement. The goal was accountability that helped people develop—not micromanagement.

03 / CUSTOMER EMPATHY

Learning to hear what users really mean

Working across development and support for UABB was a turning point. I learned to look beyond the words in a support request, understand the pain point underneath, and bring technical knowledge, empathy, and timely problem-solving together.

Beyond the job title

Curious about people, products, and the world outside work.

Writing is one way I make sense of what I learn. Outside work, health and fitness, long walks, and discovering new places remind me that good experiences matter everywhere—not just on a screen.
