Aleenah Ansari on Superpeer

writer at Microsoft, aspiring creative director, and journalist at heart

I’m a storyteller, creative problem solver, and journalist at heart who’s been telling stories for the past 5+ years. These days, I interview engineers and designers behind the internal tools and resources and share their work in blogs and videos on Microsoft IT Showcase. Learn more about my work at www.aleenahansari.com. As a Pakistani woman in tech, I believe that you can’t be what you can’t see, which is why I highlight the stories of women of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ folks in my writing. I also help early-in-career professionals feel confident in telling stories about their identity and work through 1:1 coaching. A little bit about my work by the numbers: ✔️ 5 years of experience in storytelling, user experience design, and marketing ✔️ Written 20+ stories on topics covering data and AI, security, and user experience design at Microsoft which have garnered over 60,000 views and contributed to a 25% increase in engagement year over year. ✔️ Collaborated with 25+ stakeholders to write, edit, and socialize stories ✔️ Helped hundreds of early-in-career professionals entrepreneurs and students celebrate their work in resumes, cover letters, and portfolios.
