My entire life has included a love of reading and writing. I always had a pen in my hand as a kid; then it became a keyboard. The art of crafting clear and carefully thought out sentences seems to becoming obsolete as generations now communicate in emojis, acronyms, and 2 minute videos. I'm pretty sure my kids have never experienced diagraming a sentence either. It's not surprising that when I went to college I knew I wanted to write but wasn't a novelist. So, with a focus on journalism I was able to write and then followed the journey as opportunities presented themselves. People ask me why I became a Technical Writer. It wasn't a conscious choice. I was recruited by a former coworker to join the Tech Writing team to write cutting edge telephony software documentation. It turned out to be a career changing opportunity. And I'm so glad I did. It started me on a path of being able to do what I love - research, learn, play with new technology, and write. My greatest passion is exploring technology that results in helping users achieve their goals with clear "user-centric" documentation. I am undaunted by independently exploring new documentation tools, which previously led to a collaborative relationship with AuthorIT as a Beta client conducting product testing. I love poking holes at software to create user documentation that is accurate and easily understood.Now, 15+ years later I have extensive process improvement and documentation experience in startup, public, privately held, and Fortune 100 companies across a wide range of industries, including software, healthcare, banking, and retail. Regularly described as a self-starter with drive and motivation to consistently exceed expectations, I have always been known as the one who does what is necessary, not what is asked and deep dives into subject matters to ensure the customer gets what they need, not just what they asked for. I also love helping others reach their goals. As a resume writer, I love creating a document that let's their strengths shine and tells their story. I am always available for resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile orders. Feel free to reach out if you or someone you know could use my services.
