I love language! I love to see little words wield big power. It is thrilling to know a simple phrase or an evocative metaphor can change the way people see the world; elevate the way they think; transform the way they behave. I respect words and their impact. So I became a writer. Effective technical writing takes more than a love of language; it requires attention to detail and professional discipline. Through work experience and graduate studies, I have learned how to take complex ideas or complicated procedures and shave them down to digestible size. My rhetorical expertise makes it possible for me to remove communicative barriers between writer and reader, and I am adept at ensuring authors accomplish their intended objectives in text. Comprehensive editing, information design, and fastidious attention to detail all contribute to a polished and persuasive final product. Writing is often a solitary process; however, professional communication typically involves two or more writers. I thrive on collaborative projects and draw energy and enthusiasm from working in teams. I am a friendly person by nature, so I enjoy interacting with subject matter experts, as well as fellow technical writers. And because I value structure and organization in my personal life, adhering to deadlines and following corporate protocol come easy to me.Professional communication is invigorating because no two writing projects are the same. I have worked in a variety of platforms: website, infographics, marketing, and grant writing. I’ve completed massive solo documents, and led extensive collaborative projects. In a single week I may write a government contract, analyze a company website, create a daycare marketing brochure, and edit a college graduate’s resume. While the projects are diverse and eclectic, all share a fundamental thread: the author needs to harness the power of words to persuade the reader to action. And I can help.
