As a doctoral candidate within the University of Central Florida's Texts and Technology program, I specialize in Technical Communication. Through tech comm, my research interests center around historical and modern domestic texts as technical documentation. This research includes topics of history, culinary arts, digital humanities, gender, foodways, labor, home economics, domesticity, and digital curation. I aim to explore expanded concepts of technical communication that are more inclusive and to illuminate the invisible work and technical documentation creation that homemakers do to make it more visible to more people.

This is a play on the historical term, "maid-of-all-work", a 19th-century phrase that referred to women who completed all sorts of varying housework. I have replaced the word "maid" with "made", as "maids" may indicate servants, which women are not. "Made" is more appropriate as household labor involves much making, for instance in the form of cookery and the domestic technical documents that are created and used to instruct on it. The term created is also a reclamation of a virginal label applied to those who labor in household management, care, reproduction, and other domestic pursuits.
