Skilled wordsmith, editor and proofreader with two-plus decades of paid writing experience. I was lead author of a technical book guiding land developers on how and why to save trees. My last job included work as subject-matter expert for large-language-model (LLM) developers, writing for a departmental newsletter with global reach, and an intra-office newsletter I created to solve a communication gap. A WAVE Personality Test shows my signature strengths as: Evaluating problems, showing support, and building relationships.From 2001 thru 2023 I was honored to be considered "a keeper" by a succession of acquiror companies. My resume shows a new employer every few years, but I was with the same employee group the entire time. We were simply acquired by different enterprises, and we went from a peak of 42 employees early on, down to 10 employees with the last employer. My passions include the environment, earth sciences, DEI -- and applying writing to Make Life Better. At my core I am a wordsmith with a human side. I proactively look for ways to use soft skills (and excellent writing) to connect with readers, smooth office functions and bring harmony. I also have a particular gift for getting difficult projects "unstuck." Those have included turning an employee complaint into a win-win, and getting a software-development team out of an impasse. I love writing, because I love the power of great writing. That is the key to who I am and my success!
