About Miriam | MiriamUXAudits LLC

Before two decades as a professor and researcher, I was a regulator. I spent nearly a decade at Texas Health and Human Services—writing and editing regulations, managing policy development, investigating health and safety compliance, and making complex policy clear to people who aren't policy experts. I know what it takes to get documentation audit-ready because I was the one reviewing it.

I've since spent 20+ years at Texas State University teaching technical communication, researching plain language and regulatory writing, and editing high-stakes institutional documents. I'm a Fellow of the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing and recipient of both the Society for Technical Communication’s Ken Rainey Award for Distinguished Research and the Association for Computing Machinery’s SIGDOC Rigo Award.

Fifth-generation Texan. Houston-raised, Austin-based.
