    At Open Door Lake Street, I taught weekly classes of up to 20 adults in use of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Email, Internet, file management, and grammar.Through WyzAnt, Hansa One and other organizations, I also have tutored adults one-on-one in computer skills on Macs and PCs. For example, when a retired Univ. of Minn. mathematics professor started training one-on-one with me, he was a total novice on his computer. He is now writing his journal articles in Microsoft Word, complete with equations, figures, tables and references, by himself with only occasional support from me.

    Sr. Technical Writer
    Arca, Inc./ Appliancesmart Feb 2005 - May 2009

    Implemented new intranet-based document control system for company information. This entailed writing and making accessible all of the company's SOPs; employee policies and forms; U.S. and Canadian facilities' permits, inspection reports, logs and certificates of insurance; employee safety materials; and company organization charts (made with Visio). The site was so useful that managers quickly relied on it, which reduced the time spent in Human Resources compensating for procedures not followed and forms not submitted on time. Created innovative, intuitive Microsoft Outlook calendar solution for Retail Sales vice president, which was so intuitive that he implemented it the instant I presented it to him. It replaced the ineffective email approach, thereby solving the time-critical knowledge barrier to optimal sales.Produced over 30 proposals to electric utilities for the company's turnkey refrigerator collection and recycling programs in the U.S. and Canada.
