Throughout my career, I've accumulated extensive experience across various roles in both technical and communications disciplines. For example, compare my current role - in which I've worked alongside our utility clients for more than five years, winning millions of dollars in federal and state grant/loan funding to fuel their infrastructure projects - and another, that features more than a decade as a key member of the technical staff at a competitive local exchange company. Here, I excelled in broadband network concept testing, deployment support, and troubleshooting, leveraging my technical acumen to implement advanced telecommunications technologies and ensure high-performance services for customers across the Southeast.Other successful roles included: - Technical trainer; developed and delivered comprehensive training curricula, empowering both internal staff (technical, sales, customer care) and external clients to enhance their technical proficiency.- Technical writer; authored countless documents, e.g., product guides, user manuals, technical reports, and board presentations, all recognized for clarity and accuracy.- Freelance writer and editor; offering a range of services to clients across various genres, both fiction and non-fiction. - Published author; wrote, edited, and project managed three full-length illustrated children's books for a non-profit foundation devoted to pediatric cancer research.Continued success throughout such a diverse career demonstrates both skillset versatility (technical and creative communication, project management, client relations, etc.) and an entrepreneurial spirit coupled with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining a strong commitment to client satisfaction.
