I currently work on the Global Support Content team, where I manage our content guidelines, lead special projects, and write and edit internal and customer-facing support content. This typically involves help articles on help.uber.com and reply templates for support agents, but also the occasional marketing copy, UX content, and onboarding or technical guide.

I manage our team's guidelines for creating and managing support content, including Help Center articles, reply templates for support agents, and screens for automated workflows.
Guidelines consolidation
Guidelines consolidation
Over the years, we needed various guidelines for creating and managing our support content. After so much adding and expanding the guidelines, some parts became duplicative and redundant for what content creators needed to reference. I collaborated with other editors to decide what to consolidate, and created a set of new, more user-friendly guidelines.
The old
The old
3 sets of support content guidelines (Help Center, saved responses, and automations), each of which had their own:
Unique tone and voice guidelines
Pages outlining how to format content (lists, bold, italics, etc.)
Guidance for out-of-scope tasks content creators use to perform before refining roles and responsibilities (audits, governance, metrics, etc.)
23 pages in the site architecture
The new
The new
1 set of support content guidelines, tone and voice guidelines, and formatting guidelines
Removed redundancy of out-of-scope tasks that dedicated teams now manage
6 pages in the site architecture
Help Center guidelines
Help Center guidelines
Our team’s previous guidelines for creating and managing Help Center content hadn’t been touched in years and had minimal information on creating help articles.
With input from regional content teams, I created guidelines that outlined:
What our support content should do and how it should feel to users
When to update help articles instead of creating new ones
Writing different types of help content and when to use them
Optimizing content discovery for users
Which teams need to review various types of updates
Submitting content for translation

Uber for Business
Uber for Business
My first couple years working at Uber, I primarily worked on support content for Uber for Business. The most exciting projects were the Help Center migration and getting started guides.
Help Center migration
Help Center migration
A multi-team and cross-departmental effort, we migrated the Uber for Business Help Center from uberforbusiness.com (managed externally by an agency in Wordpress) to help.uber.com/business (managed internally in our in-house CMS).
The migration allowed for:
Better data insight. The old site had very little analytics on Wordpress. The new site lets us track key KPIs and run experiments to improve user experience.
Scalable feature requests. With the old site, we had to pay the agency every time we wanted a new feature or a header updated. The new site allows us to update content ourselves and work with the internal Engineering team to add and improve features.
More logical content categorization. The old site was broken down by role type. After finding out many organizations in different regions didn’t even use one of the roles, I eliminated that top level so we could organize content more granularly.
Improved customer experience. The old site was constantly going down and, after ending the relationship with the agency, we had no maintenance support. Since the new site is managed internally, issues will get resolved much quicker.
The old
The old
120+ articles
2 Help Centers organized by role type
3 different sites to support 3 languages (English, Spanish and Portuguese)
The new
The new
65+ articles
1 Help Center organized by topic/issue
1 site to support all languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Arabic)
Options for displaying region-specific content on articles
After testing the site with a customer, we discovered some confusion around which Help Center (Uber for Business, Rider or Uber Eats) to visit for specific issues. The blurb I wrote for the new homepage directs users to the appropriate Help Centers.
