I write and edit richly technical material in a variety of industries, including renewable/green energy technologies, due diligence and compliance, toxicology, software, education and assessments, social science surveys, and training. I prepare pieces for a variety of audiences, from young children to industry experts. The tools I use largely involve the usual Office suite, Acrobat, XML, and Markdown. If you need my help with editing, I work regularly with Chicago, AP, MLA, APA, Gregg, and many house styles.I also frequently serve as the project manager for teams of writers, designers, and editors on large projects, keeping everyone moving forward together.Please contact me to talk about how I can help you further your goals and connect with your audience.

I've copyedited 30+ books on software, test development, and industry best practices for the publishing division of the Pragmatic Programmers, reading line by line to correct spelling, punctuation, syntax, and text inconsistencies, as well as enforcing house style and voice and rewriting awkward or incorrect text and rearranging sentences for better flow.

I partner with Cordant's marketing department as a contract writer and editor of B2B and B2C communications about innovations that help providers, case managers, and payers identify at-risk patients and prevent or combat opioid misuse and abuse.

I work with engineers at EnerNex on technical editor for proposals, technical reports, feasibility studies, etc., that help utilities (e.g., HECO, PG&E, and SCE) address the operational challenges of upgrading electrical grids and meeting renewable portfolio standards. I ensure content readability and clarity, and I review content for compliance with relevant regulatory directives.

I officially began my career as a technical writer at Weiser Scott. Clients included Norwest Banks (now Wells Fargo); Reality Interactive; Tobin, Erdmann & Jacobsen; and G & K Services. Weiser Scott was a great starting point in technical communications; I left when the company changed its focus, but I will always be grateful to Weiser Scott for giving me such a good foundation.
